A 16-foot pet python was stolen in July. A dog walker just rescued it. “I’m not a snake person,” said Patrick Fortune, who saved the snake with his girlfriend and a neighbor. “But I’m really glad she made it.”
— they like to be warm,” he said, noting that it been cold in Austin for several weeks, and it was 45 degrees outside on the day he spotted Snow.“Raven and I are animal lovers, and we’ve helped rescue owls and rabbits before,” Fortune added. “Rescuing the snake seemed like the right thing to do.”
He figured that if the snake was still alive, it didn’t have the luxury of time, due to the cold weather.“The embankment was pretty steep, but Raven walked on down, and I grabbed the crate and shuffled it down,” Fortune said. “Because we have lots of snakes in Texas, I knew it was common practice that if you grab them behind the head, you’ll have power over them because they can’t strike you,” Fortune said.“The snake didn’t seem to like that,” he noted. “It reared up and opened its mouth, and it gave me a ‘don’t mess with me’ look.”
He and Zimmer tucked the heat pad and blanket around the snake in the carrier, then all three of them pushed and pulled the heavy crate up the embankment. They decided to take the python to Dority’s house because he lived the closest.“We took the snake inside, and I got some wood and Patrick started a fire,” Dority said. “The fire started roaring and I also started up a space heater.”
“It was a happy feeling to know that the snake was alive and coming around,” Zimmer said. “I’m really impressed that it survived in the cold as long as it did.”About 90 minutes into their herpetology urgent care, the doorbell rang, Fortune said. JT Moorman, a senior animal protection officer with the Austin Animal Center, had arrived to pick up the snake.
