The mystery of the missing python

A sick snake has been stolen from Perth’s northern suburbs, sparking a police hunt.                                                                                                       

The two-metre long carpet python was being cared for by the Department of Environment and Conservation at its wildlife research centre at Woodvale.

The centre was broken into some time between Friday and yesterday morning and police believe the python was taken then. It was being cared for due to illness and there are concerns for its welfare.

A police spokeswoman said it was not ordinarily considered dangerous, but was capable of causing a “nasty bite” which could be “particularly dangerous” to young children.
