Large pet python escapes enclosure in Los Angeles suburb, owner warns it could attack small animals

The python named Big Mama escaped in the Chatsworth area of Los Angeles and has been missing over a week.
Big Mama is approximately 15 feet long and described as friendly toward humans by her owner Alex Villalta.
Villalta warned she could potentially eat cats, dogs and other small to medium sized animals in the neighborhood.
He has asked residents not to harm Big Mama and to let him know if she is spotted.
Reticulated pythons like Big Mama kill prey by constriction and are one of the largest snake species.
