A 5-foot-long snake is now safe after being rescued from a Deptford Township home.

Police were called to a home this weekend for a large snake found in the basement of the home.

The police department originally named the snake “Death Noodle” and released it back into a wooded area.

But police say that they soon learned that the snake was harmless and posed no threat to the homeowners.

The snake was found once again and given a new name – “Julius Squeezer” – and released a photo of it wearing a party hat.

“He’s just a big squirmy teddy bear. Hope this clears the air,” police wrote on Facebook.
