Ball Python Rescued in Mumbai
A big snake called a ball python was found alone in a place where people live in Mumbai.
This kind of snake is not usually found in India, so people think someone might have left it there after keeping it as a pet.

They are going to find a safe place for the snake to live with the help of experts.
The forest people are also trying to find out how the snake got there.
