(MYFOX NATIONAL) - Serbians aren't the only ones craving cash these days. A python was spotted sprawled over a cash machine in the Serbian town of Nis on Friday.

A banker opened his office and found himself face-to-face with the 6-and-a-half-foot snake.

Police used a shovel and a bag to capture it.

No one has claimed ownership of the python, which is presumed to be an escaped pet. Police said the owner will be punished for negligence.

Pythons are known for having the ability to digest particularly large meals. One picture caught a python eating a pregnant sheep in Malaysia .
