Wildlife rangers from the Department of Environment are looking for the owner of an albino Darwin carpet python found with its enclosure in Avenell Heights.
It was found by a man who was out on a walk with his dog.
Senior Wildlife Ranger Amanda Yates said that particular type of snake was most likely bred and raised in captivity.

“The snake appears healthy and we’re appealing for public information so we can find the owner,” Ms Yates said.
““These snakes are not native to Queensland, but they are popular among the reptile trade due to their striking features.”
Anyone with information is urged to call 1300 130 372.
The Department of Education is also reminding people they must hold the appropriate permit to keep such snakes as pets.
