A missing pet python was discovered behind a stranger's front door.

In the beautiful state of New South Wales, a curious and adventurous pet python managed to escape from its home and found itself a new cozy spot inside someone's front door. The incident was captured on video by the Illawarra Snake Catcher, Glen Peacock, who shared it on Facebook over the weekend. This was the second time in just two days that Peacock had been called out to rescue an escaped pet python.

According to Peacock, this kind of situation tends to happen in batches. It's as if the pythons have a secret plan to explore the world outside their homes. The snake caught on camera in Albion Park, in the Wollongong area, appeared to be a coastal carpet python, which is not native to the local area and is usually found further north. Peacock also shared his observation that pet pythons can be more aggressive than their diamond python counterparts.

As a snake catcher, Peacock has encountered various reasons why pet pythons end up on the loose. Some may escape due to insecure housing, while others may be abandoned by their owners. Sadly, Peacock has not received any response from the owners of the last two escaped pets he rescued, which could indicate that they were owned illegally.

In such cases, unclaimed non-native snakes are handed over to a wildlife rescue group for a temporary period. If no one comes forward to claim the snake as their own, it can then be transferred to a reptile society, which will ensure that the snake is placed in a safe and suitable home, such as a wildlife park or reptile house.
