Within the span of one month, a 9-foot albino Burmese python, a 10-foot albino Burmese python, and a 7-foot red-tail boa constrictor were seen roaming the neighborhood.

Residents began spotting the snakes and calling the fire department to remove them. At first, firefighters were concerned because they were unsure exactly where the snakes came from. They later discovered that all three snakes escaped from the same place: a dental lab. Their owner had attempted to create an enclosures for the slithery reptiles, but was clearly unsuccessful in the effort.

Although the snakes will be returning to their owner's custody, several tenants who share a building with him have complained about the creatures, so they will not be returning to his place of work.
