20-Foot Python Rescued From Dumpster in Los Angeles
A giant snake named Apples was found in a dumpster in Los Angeles.
A reptile expert, Joseph Hart, safely caught the snake.
Apples was sick and had a mouth infection, probably because her owner didn't take good care of her.
The expert said this was wrong.
Apples is now getting medicine and will hopefully get better.
This is a sad story about an animal that was not treated well and shows the importance of taking care of pets properly.
A 20-foot python was found in a dumpster at a Los Angeles apartment complex.
Reptile wrangler Joseph Hart captured the snake, nicknamed "Apples", with his bare hands.
The snake had a mouth infection, likely due to poor care.
Apples is now receiving treatment in Riverside and expected to recover.
The incident is considered a case of animal mistreatment and cruelty.
