A Stray Snake

This week, a snake escaped from its cage and it isn't found yet. The snake is a reticulated python whose body length is 3.5 meters. Reticulated pythons don't have poison, but they choke and kill people. The owner, police, and fire department have been trying to find it out by setting traps or looking for it in sewages. Because of this incident, the owner was evicted from his apartment. He is feeling sorry for fearing neighbors and is worrying about his pet. I hope he could find it as soon as possible.

A Stray Snake

This week, a snake escaped from its cage and it ihasn't been found yet.

Technically the original sentence is correct, this just sounds more natural

The snake is a reticulated python whose body length is 3.5 meters.

Reticulated pythons don't have poison, but they choke and kill people.

The owner, police, and fire department have been trying to find it out by setting traps or looking for it in sewages.

Because of this incident, the owner was evicted from his apartment.

He is feeling sorry for fearing neighbors and is worrying about his pet. / He feels sorry for his fearing neighbours and is worrying about his pet. / He feels sorry for scaring neighbours and is worried about his pet.

Another technically correct sentence. My corrections are just stylistic and sounds a bit more natural but it's a preference of how you'd like to say this. The first correction implies that currently, he still feels sorry for his neighbours whom are fearing the snake and he is worrying about his pet.

The second correction implies that he feels sorry for scaring his neighbours with this incidence and is still worried about his pet (continuing action)

I hope he couldwill find it as soon as possible.

Feedback

Overall it's really good! Honestly, when speaking English aloud, no one really notices these sort of small stylistic things or usages that much, or really even cares a lot about mistakes :)
