When dozens of neighbors started to gather in front of the home to see Juliet, snapping photos and live-streaming off their cellphones, they each had the same question: What was an 18-foot-long snake doing on the roof?
Juliet, the 18-foot-long reticulated python, found her way onto the garage roof on Thursday. By Timothy Bella Timothy Bella Deputy editor for Morning Mix Email Bio Follow April 19 at 4:52 AM If she’d wanted to, Juliet could have probably eaten the dog that was barking at her on Thursday. But the 8-year-old is a friend, not a fighter. Instead, she climbed up onto the garage roof for safety.
“She’s about 18 feet long, 18-plus feet, so I can understand people worried about seeing a big snake sitting on top of a garage like that,” Devin Jones-White, her 25-year-old owner, later told WXYZ.Posted by Latonda Harvey on Thursday, April 18, 2019 While it’s unclear how the docile Juliet found her way up to the shingles atop the home in Detroit’s East Seven Mile neighborhood, Jones-White had an theory. As first reported by WXYZ, Jones-White said he did not lock up her cage properly.
Once police arrived, one neighbor wondered aloud what authorities could do to address the unorthodox situation. Once Jones-White was alerted, he said he was scared for Juliet. He asked a friend on the scene to make sure police didn’t do anything to the snake. When he arrived, he made his way to the roof to retrieve his 18-foot-long pet. Adults, children and cops alike gawked at the prospect of a human coming so close to a creature of cartoonish length.He did. Slowly but surely, Jones-White began the clunky process of carrying Juliet down the side of the roof.
