once someone's pet, was found curled up in a ball, dead, on the side of the road on Long Island.
Officers removed the reptile and are now trying to figure out where it came from.
Pythons are illegal to have as pets in New
York, unless owners have a dangerous animal license.
The snakes are typically found in Florida,
where they are considered an invasive species.
They can reach up to 20-feet-in length and
are one of the world's longest snake species.
This is the second unusual reptile to be
found in New York in recent weeks.
Last month, a four-foot-long alligator was
found in a New York City park.
It was taken to a zoo for rehabilitation.
