In a photo shared by the Derry Police Department, the python could be seen resting on the resident's toilet and bath

A 5-foot-long python slithered into an apartment bathroom in southern New Hampshire this week, according to police. On July 28, police officers were called to 83 East Broadway in Derry to help capture the found snake, the department said in a Facebook post. "The snake was docile and clearly a pet," Derry Police Captain Vern Thomas said in an email.

BUT AFTER DERRY, POLICE SAY THEY FOUND A FIVE FOOT PYTHON INSIDE THE BATHROOM OF HIS NEIGHBOR’S UPSTAIRS APARTMENT. DO YOU BLAME HIM? I’M GLAD IT WAS UP THERE. NOT DOWN HERE. IT MIGHT HAVE HURT MY CAT.
