- Python Monarch Captured in Glauchau - Search for Owner Underway
A person stumbled upon a snake, roughly a meter in length, at the rear entrance of a structure in Glauchau. They notified the authorities, who momentarily moved the creature to a pet shop in a container, as mentioned in a communique. The reptile seems to be a black-brown king python. The proprietor is being looked for, and the Glauchau police station is requesting intel.
King pythons lack venom and are generally regarded as calm. They're commonly housed in enclosures. Their coloration is brown-black with distinct light brown or yellow spots, and they hail from West and Central Africa. They subsist on mice, rats, and avian species, which they crush and strangle with their coils.
The king python, despite being a large species, is usually docile towards humans, which is why it was placed in a pet shop. While searching for the proprietor, authorities may find that other exotic animals are also being kept at the shop.
