If in fact it is a python, (I did not receive a photo) best thing would be
to let it freeze to death, which it may already have occurred.   If it were
to survive uncaptured, it would be a threat to small mammals, ground nests,
etc.  See Everglades and growing areas of the deep south for evidence.

We saw this snake at the beginning of October on Rock Island in the green
area in front of the Viking Hall-probably about 3-4 feet long.  Fellow
visitors said it was a corn snake, but looking on line I can't see it.
Yesterday at the Children's Museum with my granddaughter, a woman was
handling and talking about snakes. I asked if she knew snakes and she said
she did. I showed her the picture and she said it was an illegally released
python that needed rescuing. Needless to say, now I am really curious! Any
ideas?9 Sandy Rueckert Dane County
