A woman remembers the horrific moment when she discovered a 20 -foot snake in the car garage for her apartment complex in the center of Los Angeles on Tuesday.
Theresa Sanchez said she just entered the garage in Piero’s apartments after work when she monitored the snake that was lying on top of the large garbage.
I initially thought it was a game, so I walked to investigate. The snake looked very realistic, so she was suspected of being stuck until the snake suddenly moved.
“I couldn’t believe that,” Sanchez Lesrie Beth Mcadder of KTLA said. “I was like, I am in Florida? What is happening here?”

She was interested in all pets and young children who lived in her building, tried to seek help.
“The first thing I called is to monitor animals, but they did not pick up, so I called the police and they just said,” I am sorry, we cannot help you. These are not the usual things that we provide support. “
There was also another passer -by that the snake also saw anxious and said that the health of the reptiles seemed very poor.
“He was sick,” she said. “His mouth was swollen and could not open his mouth.”
She managed to find a man who saved reptiles to help remove the sick animal safely, which seemed to be thrown into a large plastic container before throwing it into the garbage box.
A pedestrian said that she had contacted many animal monitoring groups that mentioned plans to calm the snake, so she continued to call until I found someone ready to help reptiles.
She said, “I wanted to find someone who was more sympathetic about animals so that they could take them, save them and get sick with health.”
Although the snake is safely removed, Sanchez is left with many questions, including those who will abandon Bithon, especially in that case, in the first place. It is unclear whether the snake belongs to a resident of the residential complex.
