Shop owner Kai Heinrich said the banana ball python was taken from her enclosure on the afternoon of April 13.

The alleged theft, caught on surveillance video, shows three individuals take the snake and exit the store during feeding time at about 12:40 p.m.

Heinrich said he just wants Milkshake back, no questions asked.

He doesnsa国际传媒檛 want to get the police involved or see severe consequences come down on who he believes are the youth who stole the reptile, but for Milkshakesa国际传媒檚 health wants to get her home.

After taking the information to social media with a description of the three individuals, Heinrich received messages about a girl matching the description of one of the alleged culprits, reportedly seen toting the snake around Orchard Park Mall wrapped around her hand, before getting on a city bus to West Kelowna.

Heinrich described her as wearing a red t-shirt and black puffer vest and having long black hair.

Another message he received was from someone who said the description could possibly be their daughter and asked for images from the surveillance footage.
