A brave woman detective in Florida wrangled a massive snake spotted along the side of a local roadway.

Leon County Sheriff’s Office shared video of Detective Emily Shaw wrestling with a 9-foot yellow anaconda, reports UPI.

‘Our Detective Emily Shaw got an unusual call yesterday, but one she was equipped to handle,’ the sheriff’s office wrote on Thursday.

Shaw, an experienced exotic snake handler, prodded the anaconda with a large stick before grabbing it by the tail and carefully carrying it into a bag.

The sheriff’s office speculated the massive snake was likely an exotic pet that escaped from its home or was released.

‘If you own an exotic pet- please be responsible. Make sure their cages are completely secure and if you decide you no longer want it, do not release it into the wild,’ the sheriff’s office wrote. ‘Instead, contact Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission.’
