Ammon News : Firefighters in a Chicago suburb were called to a commuter train to help capture a ball python that got loose from its owner and slithered into a control box panel.

The Oak Park Fire Department said in a Facebook post that firefighters responded to a CTA Green Line train at the Harlem stop on a call 'for assistance in securing a pet ball python snake.'

The snake, named Lucius, had slithered away from its owner and made its way into a control box panel aboard the train.

'We were able to open the box, secure the snake and return Lucius to a very appreciative pirate, his owner,' the post said. 'Not a typical rescue, but a memorable one for sure!' UPI
