The Timor python is a non-venomous, semi-arboreal snake species native to Southeast Asia. The species is shy, non-aggressive and prefers to avoid humans, zoo officials say.
These types of pythons typically feed on birds and small mammals and do not pose a hazard to humans or domestic pets.
This animal is unlikely to eat anything heavier than 2 pounds in weight.
It's about 5 to 6 feet long and two inches in diameter. It has a yellow and dark-brown patterned skin.
By Sunday morning, Atlanta Zoo officials said the python that escaped the zoo has been located and safely returned to its enclosure.
