Summary:
Two 12-year-old boys discovered and captured a 3-foot-long ball python near an elementary school. The snake was in shallow water by a drain line, and nearby was a shattered aquarium tank and the rocks and plants normally found in a snake’s habitat. The snake had a laceration near the end of its body, likely from the broken glass. The boys took the snake to the police, and it was then brought to a farm.
