The snake appeared to be headed onto the busy street when it was found, an animal control officer said.
Two Sanford police officers responded to an unusual call on June 22 after a large ball python was discovered inside an apartment building bathroom.
This species is usually considered timid and typically grows to around three to five feet long.
The snake may have been an escaped pet or one that was intentionally released.
A search was launched for the 4.5ft ball python and a "slightly grumpy" 7ft boa constrictor.
