Giant python spotted near school campus in South Carolina
A large python was safely captured in Newberry County after being spotted near Mid-Carolina High School, close to the town of Prosperity.
Sheriff Lee Foster said on social media that Warren Gallman and several friends managed to secure the massive snake without incident. While its exact length is unclear, photos from the scene show three people holding the reptile.
Authorities believe the snake, which appears to be an albino python, was likely a released pet, as this type of snake is not native to South Carolina. Foster praised Gallman and his friends for their quick response, calling them “brave people and great Americans.”
While pythons have become an invasive species in Florida, South Carolina does not currently face the same issue. Wildlife officials caution that releasing exotic pets can be dangerous for both humans and native wildlife. Authorities have not yet disclosed the snake’s next destination.
