MORGANTOWN, W.Va. (AP) - Authorities say a 15-foot python is on the loose in West Virginia.
Morgantown Police say the python slithered out of a truck and escaped into the woods as a man was transporting it late Thursday.
The snake was last seen in a large tree next to Listravia Avenue, near a Sheetz gas station outside Morgantown.
Police are asking residents to pay close attention to children and small pets while outdoors.
A city spokesman says authorities are still looking for the snake as of Friday morning.
