A live snake was recently captured in the backyard of a Kaimukī residence by agriculture inspectors from the Hawai‘i Department of Agriculture (HDOA).

The homeowner said he saw the snake in the afternoon and initially thought it was a child’s toy. Later , he noticed it was moving and called 911. Honolulu police officers contacted inspectors from the Plant Quarantine Branch (PQB) and sent photos of the snake. A team from PQB arrived at the home around  and used snake tongs to capture the three-and-a-half foot snake.

The snake has been identified as a non-venomous ball python. While being captured and handled, PQB inspectors noted the snake was very docile, likely making it an escaped pet.

The snake is being safeguarded at the PQB.
