📌 On August 5, residents of a downtown Los Angeles apartment complex were shocked to discover a massive 20-foot Burmese python perched atop a dumpster. The snake, suffering from mouth rot—a painful and costly infection—was likely abandoned by its owner.
Animal wrangler Joseph Hart was called in to safely capture the reptile. Hart, known for handling extreme cases, suspects the python was dumped due to the expensive treatment required for its condition. The snake, now named "Apples," has been relocated to a safe new home.
Watch the dramatic rescue and learn about the challenges of exotic pet ownership in urban environments.
