It’s Moving And It’s Huge!
Some people in a Detroit neighborhood got a shock when a pet made it’s way on top of a garage roof. It wasn’t a normal household pet, although it’s name is Juliet.
Juliet is an 18 foot reticulated python, a nonvenomous species native to South and Southeast Asia that is the longest snake in the world. While it’s unclear how the docile snake found her way up to the shingles atop the home in Detroit’s East Seven Mile neighborhood, Jones-White had a theory as he described to WXYZ.

Latonda Harvey, a neighbor who live-streamed the scene Thursday on Facebook couldn’t believe what she saw. “It’s moving and it’s huge!”

Once Jones-White was alerted, he said he was scared for Juliet. He asked a friend on the scene to make sure police didn’t do anything to the snake. When he arrived, he made his way to the roof to retrieve his 18-foot-long pet.
Despite Juliet’s impressive length, she does not come close to being the longest python of her kind. That honor goes to Medusa, who, at 25 feet, 2 inches, is the longest snake ever recorded in captivity, according to Guinness World Records. In 2011, the 350-pound reticulated python needed 15 men to hold her to be measured at full length.
