Thames Valley Police find 5ft python in Aylesbury

The scaley Python was found by PC Reid and PC Eustice last night. 

It is not known where it came from but it is now being cared for by a 'snake specialist' in Aylesbury. 

• Remember when a HUGE Boa Constrictor was thought to be on the loose in Oxford?
• These were the theories about it 
• ANOTHER boa constrictor was found in the woods in 2011 too
