Manitowoc Co. Sheriff's officials looking for large python that attacked poodle

MISHICOT — Manitowoc County sheriff's officials say a large snake that attacked a poodle is on the loose in Mishicot.


Deputies were called to an apartment about 2:00 a.m. Monday, June 27th by the tenants who say the four-foot-long ball python was biting the dog's ear and coiling around it.

The ball python isn't venomous and kills its prey by wrapping around it and crushing it.

A tenant threw the snake out of the window. Deputies weren't able to locate it.
