The Erlanger Police Department has stated that “no credible sightings” of a purported large snake in the area of Riggs Avenue and Division Street in Erlanger have been confirmed following citizen reports last week.
In a statement delivered on social media on Friday, the police described the situation. After the reports, the police consulted with a reptile expert who examined tracks in a grassy section of land in the area. The expert, who is not named in the statement, said the tracks could “potentially have been created by a large snake.”
The police set up game cameras in the area, but no photos of such a snake have been captured so far. The police said they were actively monitoring the situation and recommended residents generally be on the lookout for such an animal, keep pets leashed, secure any places or materials on their property where the animal might be able to hide and inform their friends, family, and neighbors of the situation.
Anyone who spots such a snake should report it to the Erlanger Police Department at (859)727-7599.
