14-Foot Python Slithers Up Banister in Plymouth, England

Reptile enthusiast Eve Wellard captured her 14-foot-long reticulated python, Izzy, as she slithered up the banister in her home in Plymouth, England.

According to Wellard, reticulated pythons are some of the longest species of snake in the world, with an average length of 10 to 20 feet. Two-year-old Izzy “was on the banister exercising after having a soak in the bath. It’s important for big snakes to have opportunities to exercise and stretch out because when they are too sedentary, their risk of health issues increases,” Wellard said.

Wellard has a collection of 22 snakes, with Izzy being the largest. She also owns various other species of exotic pets, which can be seen on her Instagram. Credit: evesexoticpets via Storyful
