A family in Freehold, New Jersey, got a shocking surprise when they discovered an enormous snake hiding beneath their backyard shed.
The unexpected visitor was an 8-foot-long Burmese python with an enormous bulge in the middle of its body, leaving the family and animal control officers wondering what the massive reptile had managed to eat.
The discovery happened in an ordinary backyard, when resident Leslie Daley spotted something unusual while she was watering flowers.
Her husband, Ed, explained that his wife noticed the huge reptile moving through their Freehold backyard.
What initially seemed like an unbelievable sight quickly became a situation that required professional help.
The family contacted the Monmouth County SPCA, and animal control officers were dispatched to the property.
What they found beneath the family’s shed was a snake far larger than anyone had expected.
