A Gympie mother is fearing for the life of 7-year-old Sylvanna.
Caroline Harris last saw the Murray Darling carpet python in her terrarium on Saturday morning, before Ms Harris travelled to Gladstone for the night.
Ms Harris returned on Sunday afternoon to find Sylvanna gone, and a search revealed the 6ft-long snake was nowhere nearby.
The Hilton Rd resident is desperate to find Sylvanna.
“I’ve had her longer than I’ve had my daughter,” she said.
“I call her my ‘scaly baby’, and she’s definitely a big part of my family.”
She asked if residents near Hilton Rd could check their yards for the snake, especially if their own animals are making a ruckus.
