Summary:
A 3-4 foot ball python was captured on a Maui coffee farm. Ball pythons are not indigenous to Hawaii, and was likely part of the pet trade. Snakes have no natural predators in Hawaii and pose a serious threat to Hawaii’s environment. The snake was euthanized due to the condition it was found in.
