It’s been a bad week for Orlando snake enthusiasts. Amidst a citywide snake hunt for an 8 foot king cobra, another huge serpent tried to escape its owner– this time in the middle of traffic on Colonial Drive.
Sunday evening at 6:13 p.m., William Moxey caught this video of what appears to be a python, while at the corner of Colonial and Woodbury.
Moxey was able to flag the driver down and a passenger jumped out of the truck and grabbed the snake before it was too late.
If you’re wondering about the 8 foot king cobra that’s still on the lamb, the only updates we have are from its fantastic Instagram account.
