Two-foot python dubbed ‘Sir Hiss’ spotted at Diamond District store — third snake found in NYC this week: cops
NY Post
It was a diamondback wannabe!
A python was spotted slithering around a store in the heart of the Big Apple’s Diamond District Friday — just two days after another snake was found on the Upper West Side.
The approximately two-foot long reptile was discovered inside Fantasy Diamonds at the corner of West 47th Street and Sixth Avenue — steps from the buzzing Rockefeller Center subway station, police said.
Someone called 911 and the python was removed to the city’s Animal Care Center, where it was dubbed “Sir Hiss” and sent to a foster home.
Police said it’s unclear how the brown-and-gold patterned snake ended up in the shop, and that the investigation is ongoing.
A store worker declined to comment when reached by The Post.
