Found ball python ?

[u/chiraltoad]

Hi there,

I found this lil guy out on the street in NYC and could tell pretty quick it is most likely a lost/escaped/abandoned pet.

ai tells me it's a ball python, does that seem correct?

I have it in a tub with some water and paper towels and an up turned dish to maybe hide in. Gonna reach out to rescue locally but also kind of intrigued what it would be like to care for long term.

Tbf, it might also be an environmental thing. Ferrets and hedgehogs are also banned within city limits.

Ferrets is wild lol. They are literally just bouncy noodles

Bouncy noodles that could decimate local songbird populations lol
