The officer found the snake in Richmond on Tuesday morning after slipping his hand into the backpack of a 41-year-old man wanted on warrants.
He was not licensed to carry the reptile and was arrested.
He has been bailed to appear at Melbourne Magistrates’ Court on 29 October charged with possessing wildlife without a licence. The snake was passed on to the environment department.

You can get pet carpet pythons i.e. not wildlife, I wonder if you need a license for them. He may have just been taking his snake out for a slither.
