NORTH ROYALTON, Ohio (DRN) — A python more than 6 feet long has given people a slithery scare at a nature park near Cleveland.
Startled visitors at the Mill Stream Run Reservation in North Royalton found the large snake on a picnic table Sunday, soaking up the sun.
Metropark rangers captured the reptile, whose skin was covered in a pattern of brown geometric shapes. It’s suspected the python either escaped or was dumped in the park by its owner.
Rangers say if they don’t find the owner they’ll hand the snake over to the Cleveland Zoo.
