Dead 15-Foot Python Found In York County, Police Not Sure Where It Came From
SPRINGETTSBURY TOWNSHIP, Pa. (KDKA) - A dead 15-foot long python has been found in York County.
Springettsbury Township Police Department shared a photo of a python that was found dead in a wooded area on Thursday afternoon.
On Facebook, they say officers were dispatched to the 1500 block of Whiteford Road for a report of a large snake. When they arrived, officers found the 15-foot python dead.
This summer, a "dangerous" 15-foot pet python broke out of its enclosure and slithered into the woods outside Morgantown.

A second python -- this time, 11 feet long -- also escaped in West Virginia in the fall.
