13-Foot Python Found Floating In Canal Near Siesta Key

A 13-foot, 80-pound python was rescued near Siesta Key, Florida.

The snake was found floating belly up in the water. Wildlife officials said it was most likely a pet that escaped and ventured into the water to try and warm its body.

“[The python is] extremely dangerous,” said Joe Volpe, who found the snake. “This is not something one should keep as a pet.”

The python is being treated and expected to survive.
