NEW YORK -- A 13-foot-long python was removed from someone's home in western New York.
Officials say the Burmese python was in a home near Syracuse.
When officials entered the house, they found the snake in a five-foot enclosure.
The owner was surprised how fast the snake grew and became overwhelmed by its size.
Authorities have since relocated the 3-year-old snake to the Fort Rickey Discovery Zoo.
Burmese pythons can reach lengths of up to 17 feet.
