"The understanding is once the molting process is finished, the snake gets back to its more conventional level of activity," Victoria city clerk Chris Coates told CBC. According to Coates, crews will continue to monitor the snake every day. While the snake continues to squat in Victoria's sewers, a woman named Nicole Penrice, among others, has come forward claiming ownership of the animal. Penrice claims the snake's name is "Mico." "He use to climb in and out of our drains (he particularly liked the bathtub), but he always returned for food. One day he didn't return, and we haven't seen him since," she told CBC in an email. "I haven't seen him since I was 18, but I always had a feeling that he'd be alright… We frequently joked about how he'd be as large as [an] anaconda by the time we found him." Thoroughly disturbed by this account, VICE has reached out to Penrice for comment, but has not heard back yet.
