Oh snake can you see? Search on for missing Alaska python

ANCHORAGE, Alaska — A misplaced pet is causing concern in a community north of Anchorage, Alaska.

Animal control officials in Matanuska-Susitna Borough say a 17-foot python that weighs 100 pounds escaped in neighbourhood in Meadow Lakes.

Animal care officer Darla Erskine says the owner has gone door-to-door notifying neighbours and continues to search for the bright-yellow and white reptile.

Animal care director Kirsten Vesel recommends that small pets be brought inside while the snake is on the loose.
