Massive ball python rides New York subway on handrail

Sept. 12 (UPI) -- A passenger on the New York subway shared video of an unusual fellow passenger -- a huge ball python coiled around a handrail.

A video posted to Reddit by user MayoMouth on Sunday showing the massive snake wrapped around the handrail over a row of seats on the L train.

The redditor said the snake was being looked after by two men riding in the same car.

"He and another guy who was with him were passing it around the car and while they weren't charging people, they would ask for donations when someone asked to hold it. Said something about having a lot of snakes to feed back at the sanctuary/adoption place or something like that, who knows..." MayoMouth wrote.

It was unclear whether the ball python in the video was the same serpent recorded riding a subway train in June.
