its probably just a ball python. i have one myself and they are very tame. theyre more scared of you than you are of it.

Dang stay where did you see that story. I was just thinking to myself well I won’t be going to Fair Haven. Now you say they found a snake in West Warwick Yuck. Give me a nice cuddly puppy or kitten any day.

There was a posting in the pets section of craigslist saying that someone found a snake at least 3 feet long in their living room. Although it was west warwick. Not sure a snake could travel that far. it’s worth looking into.
