Residents have described their shock after an 18ft-long (5.5m) python was spotted trying to get into a house.
The Burmese python, which had escaped from a nearby property, was seen trying to get through an upstairs window from the roof of a house in Chandler's Ford, Hampshire.
The reptile caused panic when it appeared early on Tuesday.
It was eventually picked up by a neighbour who recognised it and returned it to its owner.
