Watch: Pied Ball Python Found Behind Fridge In New Jersey House, Search On For Its Owner

Interestingly, the ball python is one of the most popular reptiles kept as pets in America.

A resident in New Jersey was left shocked after he spotted a snake hiding behind his refrigerator in his apartment. He immediately called snake rescuers who took the snake to an animal shelter called Liberty Humane Society, where it was identified as a piebald ball python. Also known as pied ball pythons, they are brown or orange snakes with large white patches and stripes of unpigmented skin.

The snake, dubbed 'Banana' by rescuers, was found on the 29th floor of an apartment in the Newport district, the humane society said in a Facebook post. The rescuers are now trying to find the snake's owner. Interestingly, the ball python is one of the most popular reptiles kept as pets in America, and the piebald morph is one of the most prized varieties.

In a Facebook post, Liberty Humane Society shared a video of the snake and wrote, ''Banana'', this beautiful piebald ball python morph, is not a threat, but we guess to some people a surprise snake can seem like an emergency! "Banana” came to LHS today after a resident found them behind their refrigerator, panicked, and someone called JCPD. Did we mention their apartment was in the Newport district, on the 29th floor?''
