Police and a reptile handler were summoned to the scene to capture the python, which was measured at about 10 feet long.

The snake handler said it appeared the python had been living in the ceiling for some time, possibly up to 10 years. The expert said there are many restaurants in the area, which attracted rats for the python to eat.
