WHEATON, Ill. (CBS/AP) -- A garter snake or a fox snake being found in a Chicago area forest preserve would not be news – but the snake that was found at a DuPage County preserve was nothing remotely like either.
A ball python, usually found in Africa, made an appearance at Herrick Lake Forest Preserve in Wheaton.
A woman spotted it under her car and called for help.
Sgt. Krist Schroeder, an officer with the Forest Preserve District of DuPage County, grabbed the snake and removed it.
A good reminder not to release pets in the preserves.
