Escaped Snake Found At In-N-Out Drive Thru 40 Miles Away From Home

Talk about animal style!

A Southern California family has been reunited with their 4-foot-long ball python — over a month after it escaped from their home — after it was found slithering around an In-N-Out drive-thru lane.

An employee at the Monrovia In-N-Out made the surprising discovery while at work on Monday. The worker brought the snake to the nearby Pasadena Humane Society, which quickly got to work attempting to reunite the snake with its owner.

"The story was shared hundreds of times on social media and even picked up by numerous news outlets in the Los Angeles area and beyond," the animal welfare nonprofit wrote on Facebook.

All that press coverage ended up catching the attention of a woman named Vanessa, Pasadena Humane wrote.

She was cutting a customer's hair at the barbershop where she works in Redlands when a news story about the out-of-place snake popped up on the TV.

"Vanessa was stunned—the snake was the spitting image of her family's own ball python that had escaped from their home in San Bernardino in August, right down to the specific markings. But how could Henny have ended up in Monrovia?," Pasadena Humane wrote.

She and her family quickly headed to the humane society with photos of their snake "and against all odds, the snake in our care was an identical match," the nonprofit wrote.

San Bernardino and Monrovia are about 40 miles apart.

The ball python is the most popular pet python in the world. Native to central and western Africa, the snakes are generally 2 to 5 feet long, though lengths of 6 feet or more have been reported, according to Reptiles magazine.

The snakes can live 30 years or more.

Despite where Henny was found, burgers are not part of a ball python's diet. They eat every one to two weeks and favor rats — either alive or dead, according to the magazine.
