UPDATE | Animal Control Officials Still Searching For Large Python Near Cedar Bluff

Cherokee County Animal Control Officer Dustin Dutton says that the nearly 9ft Python that was spotted on County Road 131 near the Riverside Campground in Cedar Bluff on Monday still remains on the loose but that Animal Control Officials are actively searching for the reptile.

Dutton says that an investigation is ongoing to determine exactly where the snake came from – he said that details surrounding the investigation cannot be released at this time.

Residents in that area are still advised to be on the lookout for the snake and to keep a close eye on small children and outdoor pets – or better yet simply keep them indoors.

Dutton did say that if the snake is not found before winter sets in then most likely the weather conditions will kill it before it is captured.
