The man tasked with finding a 13-foot albino python says he's no longer on the hunt.

Trevor Bounds of Red Beard Wildlife Control has been on the hunt since the start of the month as residents of the Burntwood mobile home park went on high alert.

Now, Bounds says he's calling off his search. "After a few unprofessional and un-youthful calls/texts... we are no longer going to work this job," Bounds told News 9.

Bounds said he's still willing to remove the snake if found but is no longer providing daily resources.

Those living in the Burntwood community near southeast 89th and south Bryant Avenue reported cats have been going missing for months and now believe a 13-foot reticulated python is the culprit.

Bounds said the reptile has likely been feeding off house cats, rodents, and other wildlife to survive.

“I think that’s why the size grew so big in a short amount of time,” said Bounds. “Is unlimited animals out there.”
