Passage 1 In December 2022, Patrick Fortune was walking his dog in his Austin, Texas neighborhood when he noticed a strange - looking yellow object about 30 feet below. It turned out to be a python. Fortune remembered that months ago, someone on Nextdoor had posted about a 16 - foot albino python named Snow that had been stolen from its owner's vehicle in a travel tote. Could this be the missing snake The poster, Daryl Fields, described Snow as "a big gentle giant". When Fortune realized he might have found the missing python, he took his dog home and told his girlfriend, Raven Zimmer, 33. He wasn't sure if the snake was alive or dead, but if it was alive, they should rescue it. Zimmer, knowing that pythons are tropical and need warmth, and considering the chilly weather in Austin for weeks, joined in the rescue. They warmed up a heating pad, grabbed a few towels, and loaded their dog crate into the truck. A neighbor called animal control, but the person they spoke with said it would take a couple of hours to get an officer to the area. Fortune thought that if the snake was still alive, they didn't have the luxury of time. The snake seemed dead at first glance, but when Zimmer touched it, it moved, surprising them. They then faced a new question: what to do next Fortune texted people in the neighborhood, hoping to get some help.
