Not many proplr would actively seek out and rescue a python i that manner.
A snake thought to be an escaped pet has been found by a member of the public at a reservoir in Nottinghamshire.
The royal python was first spotted at King's Mill Reservoir, in Sutton-in-Ashfield, at about 19:00 BST on Saturday.
Gemma Savage, who lives Kirkby-in-Ashfield, said she searched for the snake after seeing a post about it on social media and found it on Sunday afternoon. It was later taken to the Mansfield Aquatic, Reptile & Pet Centre, where it is now being cared for.

Ms Savage said: "I saw the post on Saturday and all I could think about was that the snake would not survive if it stayed outside, so I went to find it."
She added: "I was comparing the photo from social media while we walked around the reservoir to try and find the location. I looked in the grass and saw that it was curled up in a ball. We touched it with our foot to make sure it was still alive and to make sure it wasn’t nasty."
She said she then picked it up and it was later taken to the pet centre in Nursery Street, Mansfield.
