Big black and green snake found on State Street Road, Town of Batavia

By Billie Owens

A Sheriff's Deputy bagged an unusual find late this morning -- a large black and green snake.

Seems a caller reported the slithering reptile sunning itself in the middle of State Street Road, by the Thruway, in the Town of Batavia.

"Once we have him in the bag, then what to we do with him?" the deputy wondered.

The status of the snake, described as roughly 4 inches in diameter and lengthy, at this point is unknown.

Touch base with the Sheriff's Office if your pet snake is missing.

UPDATE Sept. 7: A photo of the snake obtained after this initial report clearly shows the snake is black and gold -- not black and green.
