One of the two massive pythons that were allegedly released by an ex-boyfriend during a toxic break-up has been found after almost a week.

The owner of Bagel the pet python updated a local Facebook group saying the snake had been found near Coogee's RSL, in Sydney's eastern suburbs, on Monday.

Bagel and Mango, an albino python, were allegedly dumped 'in a fit of rage' outside of their home on Mount Street on Wednesday by the woman's ex-boyfriend after the couple broke up.

Despite being thirsty and tired after almost a week in the 'wild', Bagel didn't have 'a scratch on her'.

The owner is now pleading with locals to keep an eye out for Mango, who is still missing in the area and could soon be spotted basking in the sun as the weather warms up.

The woman thanked the 'Wildlife Information, Rescue and Education Service (WIRES) and the local Randwick and Maroubra police force, and the entire community as a whole for having such a keen eye out for my babies'. 

In a previous post notifying locals of her 2.5m-long pythons, the woman described them as 'quite sweet and don't bite'.

'I'm really scared for their safety, so please if anyone has seen them let me know,' she wrote on Wednesday

Bagel and Mango, aged five and six, have been looked after by the woman since their birth.

Mango could still be prone to the dangers of the outside world after being hand-reared and accustomed to life in an enclosure.

The snakes are native to Australia but are not native to the Sydney region.

The snaked, aged five and six-years-old, have been raised by their female owner (pictured) since birth and have come accustomed to life in their home

A 25-year-old man known to the snake's owner was arrested on Friday evening and charged with domestic violence related charges for allegedly releasing the snaked on a footpath.

Police allege the 25-year-old damaged two snake enclosures at a unit on Mount Street in Coogee and placed the animals in an unsecured box outside the home about 11pm last Saturday.

The man was charged with two counts of destroying or damaging property worth less than $2000 under the classification of a domestic violence offence. 

He was refused bail and was expected to appear in Parramatta Local Court on Saturday.
