A snake missing on the University of Guelph campus since Thursday has been found alive.
The U of G reported early Sunday evening that the small ball python snake was spotted in a second floor office of the University Centre around 5:30 p.m. by some students. They contacted Campus Community Police, who found the snake under a desk and put it in a box. It was taken to the Ontario Veterinary College for a health check.
The snake reportedly escaped from a student's backpack.
Campus Community Police and pest control specialists from Physical Resources had been searching the building.
The four-year-old snake is brown and black and about two feet long.
