When she couldn't locate the 4ft snake, who she's owned for 13 years, in the house, Lisa contacted the police.
However, the mum-of-three said: "I must stress that he is not dangerous and will not attack or eat cats, dogs or rabbits.
"He has been in captivity all of his life and only feeds on dead rats and chicks. He wouldn't know how to hunt a live animal."
She said Frankie is a royal python which is a "very timid" species that would "likely recoil into a ball when confronted with danger".
"We as a family and especially the children want him home safely and back where he belongs," she said.
