New York authorities have raided a New Hartford residence and seized a Burmese python that’s 13 feet long – and it’s still not done growing. Officers with the New York Department of Environmental Conservation, who were acting on a tip from a concerned neighbor, found the massive snake crammed in a four-foot tank, DEC Officer Jeff Hull. The 80-pound snake was removed and relocated to the Fort Rickey Discovery Zoo in Rome, Hull adds. The owner of the snake told officers when he decided to bring it home, he had no idea it would grow as fast as it did. Nonetheless, he was issued two citations: one for possessing wildlife as a pet, the other for possessing dangerous wildlife without a permit, the DEC reports.
