I Love My Pets in Rockwood posted the surveillance footage on Facebook in hopes that someone will recognize the man in the video. 

"The last thing we were expecting was to check the video and take a closer look and see a man putting it down the front of his pants, we were not expecting that at all," said employee Callie McElroy. "We couldn't fathom the way someone could sneak a snake that big out of a store like that."
