A baby ball python is now residing in a sanctuary in Brunswick after being captured in Orrington — twice.

A man from Orrington found the baby ball python slithering through his yard Monday afternoon and attempted to capture it, according to Mason Pellerin, an adoption coordinator at HerpHaven.

The man successfully wrangled the foot-long snake into a plastic tub and brought it into his house but didn’t put a lid on the tub, letting the snake escape into his home. After the snake got loose in his house, the man called Game Warden Jonathan Parker to help corral the snake.

Parker found the harmless python in a cabinet and scooped it into a pillowcase. With the snake under control, Parker brought it to HerpHaven Reptile Rescue and Sanctuary in Brunswick.
