Another day, another python in Florida.
This time, a woman found a python wrapped around her pet rat's blanket while she was doing laundry in her Brevard County home. Juanita Tedesco called police after spotting the snake as she rinsed blankets Wednesday. She says she believes it was trying to eat her pet rat, Princess.
Cocoa police Lt. Mike Dellatorre says the snake is likely a pet that slithered away from its home. It marks the third python sighting in Florida in one week.
On Tuesday police say a man in Orlando found a python coiled on the floor of his kitchen pantry.
Last Friday, a man found an 8-foot python in his garage in Pembroke Pines.
Tedesco says it may be time to get rid of her pet rats.
