ANCHORAGE, Alaska (AP) — A 17-foot python that had caused concern in a community north of Anchorage, Alaska, since it went missing two weeks ago has returned home.
Matanuska-Susitna Borough Animal Care reports that Sam slithered back into view in the living room of its owners' home in the town of Meadow Lakes.
One of its owners told the borough's Animal Care department that Sam was fed a 25-pound rabbit before it disappeared.
Animal Care Officer Darla Erskine reported that the owner did not know where Sam had been hiding.
There are no wild snakes in most of Alaska.
