that his 15-year-old ball python named Bubba slithered away from his yard last weekend.“He’s completely harmless,” Delaney said. “We’ve had him for 15 years. He’s never been mean and the biggest thing he’d eat is a rat.”
Fellow Edgewater resident Rhonda Hanley said she’d likely be startled if she came across Bubba. But because he’s someone’s pet, she’ll try to help find him. “I’ll try and put something over the top of it like a blanket or a garbage can if I find him,” Hanley said.“We are hoping he’s still around here and nobody harms him,” he said.
Experts say because ball pythons prefer to be hidden most of the time the snake doesn’t appear to pose a threat to the public.“The most that could happen is that the snake could take a defensive swipe,” Stephanie Stone, owner of Jurassic Reptile Supply, said. “It’s less impact than a cat scratch or a cat bite.”“Unless it feels the need to try to find a meal, it’s probably very close to where it was originally,” she said.
