A PYTHON has gone missing in Great Yeldham.

The four-foot Royal Python female snake, called Rosie, was reported missing by her owner on Saturday morning.

The pet, which is described as not aggressive, has black and brown patches and an arrow shaped head.

Its owner has been unable to trace Rosie despite a thorough search of her home in Butlers Way, Great Yeldham.

There is a possibility that it may have got outside.

Police are warning that it is likely to find somewhere high up, like a tree.

Anyone who spots the animal should contact police immediately on 101.
