Police are looking for a 7-foot-long Bredli python, a 7-foot-long rat snake and two juvenile ball pythons that are just over a foot long.
None of the snakes are venomous, but anyone who spots them should stay away from them and call 911.
Channel 11 is learning more about the type of snakes released.
“They can’t live here. They’ll die. It’s just like being cruel to an animal,” co-owner of “Off the Hook Exotic Pets” Mike Deltondo said.
“They’re going to turn up sooner or later in somebody’s backyard. They’re not going to hurt anybody,” co-owner of “Off the Hook Exotic Pets” George Diaz said.
“They don’t get real big, they like being handled. They’re just an awesome animal,” Deltondo said.
“Their main defense is to roll into a ball when they get nervous. They don’t bite. They don’t bluff. They roll into a ball and stay out,” Diaz said.
