Police Capture Escaped Corn Snake in Ahrensburg as Search for Owner Begins

Police say the non-venomous pet is safe with a specialist pending contact from its owner.

Overview

  • A pedestrian spotted the exotic snake around 13:30 on Thursday on Hamburger Straße and alerted police.
  • Officers from the Ratzeburg police directorate identified the reptile as a corn snake and found it in good condition.
  • The animal was captured and handed over to a snake expert for temporary care.
  • Ahrensburg police ask the owner to call 04102/809-0 to reclaim the snake.
  • Authorities emphasize there is no danger to the public, noting that such escapes are relatively common and that outdoor survival is far better in summer than during prolonged frost.
