Deadly snake makes escape via 20ft-high telephone wire
Police reveal alarmed locals living in Anglesey, North Wales, reported seeing a Burmese python crawling along the wire and down a drainpipe ![]() A deadly python terrified locals by making a bid for freedom across a telephone wire 20ft in the air. In scenes "like a horror film" the 12ft-long pet snake escaped from its tank before slithering upstairs and escaping from a bedroom window. Police were called after alarmed locals living in Anglesey, North Wales, reported seeing the Burmese python crawling along the wire and down a drainpipe. Sergeant Rob Taylor, from North Wales Police's rural crime unit, took to Twitter to share skin-crawling pictures of the snake on Monday afternoon. ![]() He said the snake had managed to make it across the wire to the opposite house and was halfway down the drainpipe before it was finally captured. The python - who hasn't been named - was returned safely to his owner with advice on keeping him secure. Tweeting from his @NWPRuralCrime account Sgt Taylor: "The vast majority of people who own reptiles keep them in secure tanks - but for those who don't this is a timely reminder to do so." Other web users living on the Welsh island expressed their horror at the image of the python's high-wire escape act. Timothy Rees Davies wrote on Facebook: "It looks like something from a horror film. They can be very dangerous, its lucky somebody spotted it. It could killed someone, no joke." While Mary Lewis tweeted: "I would have ran a mile. It sends chills down my spine just looking at it." Henry Peters added: "Where's Samuel L Jackson when you need him? Forget Hollywood, we need him here in Anglesey." The Burmese python is native to a large variation of tropic and sub-tropic areas of Southern and Southeast Asia. It is of the five largest snakes in the world and capable of constricting an adult to death. They often live near water but are good climbers and can be found in the treetops of jungles catching birds. Special care is required when handling them as a three-metre long Burmese python is capable of killing a child and a five-metre long snake is capable of overpowering and killing a fully grown adult.

I think that's rather lovely, actually.
I wouldn't want it in my rat cage (or my bed!) but I wouldn't describe seeing it 20 feet up as a horror movie.

No, ICBMs might take down the phone wire and it could take forever to get the phone company to fix it.

12 feet is pretty freaking big. No way that guy has it in an enclosure big enough for an animal of that size.

Reading Monkey's post I read cadaver instead of cava, so reading the link I figured no big deal. Then a little way into it I realized it was a real live patient.
![]() Yeah, the disclaimer sounds like a CYA move.
