AUSTIN -- A massive white and yellow snake seen slithering around a Texas neighborhood for months has finally been wrangled, photos show.
The 16-foot albino reticulated python is hard to miss, like an extremely long banana slithering through the grass and along the sidewalks of the Coronado Hills neighborhood in northeast Austin.
When the Austin Animal Center received a call on Monday, Dec. 19, from residents describing a huge, pink-eyed snake they had caught and were keeping at their home, wildlife workers assumed the details were a bit exaggerated, the center said in a Facebook post.
We get it! Spotting a nope rope in the wild can be scary, the post said. But when Officer Moorman arrived to the residence, he was indeed greeted by an unhappy 16 ft long albino reticulated python.

There's still no word about the king cobra that is slithering somewhere around the Metroplex.
