Radnor Police are looking for the owner of a 4-foot-long python snake in the grass found near one of the township’s parks earlier this week, writes Justin Udo for KYW Newsradio.
Police posted on Facebook Tuesday evening that they found the ball python near Strathmore and Conestoga roads, just a block from Clem Macrone Park.
John Child, who lives a few blocks away from where the snake was found, was a bit surprised, but not alarmed.
“I’m too big to be eaten by a python,” he said.
“I thought there was a lunatic out there who just released [it]. Probably had a little bitty python and it got too big for him,” he suggested.
His wife, Virginia, was more uneasy about a snake nearby, concerned for children and pets.
“We have a lot of children here so it’s very unsafe,” she said. “They could slither into any place in the park and kids can roam into places that they shouldn’t be.”
The park hosts a playground and baseball field, a tennis court and basketball courts loaded down with kids.
John Klauss does maintenance at the park and said he would let parents know about the python.
