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.

A 13-foot python was found in a home and relocated to zoo.



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.
