A large yellow python has gone missing from a home in Nottinghamshire, and a local councillor has said "people are frightened" because of it. Nottinghamshire Police was made aware the snake was reported missing from a property in Blandford Road, Chilwell, on Wednesday (July 13).
The python is still understood to be missing at this time. The animal is thought to not pose a risk to other people or animals.
But a local councillor has said that a number of people are "scared" in the area, and have purposefully stayed at home to avoid coming into contact with it. Labour councillor for Broxtowe Borough Council, Helen Skinner, who represents Chilwell West, also gave out advice to local residents.
