The reptile, believed to be a boa constrictor, was found at Lochore Meadows Country Park, near Lochgelly, Fife, on Tuesday by a member of the public.
The body of a large snake has been found at a Scots beauty spot sparking fears the animal may have been ‘dumped before freezing to death’.
It is understood that the snake is a type of boa constrictor which looked to be in good health with no obvious signs of injury. A short video clip shared by the park showed the stricken animal lying on the ground near an outbuilding. The disturbing find has not been reported to Police Scotland of the Scottish SPCA but animal charity chiefs have issued advice.
“If anybody finds an exotic animal outside that is alive then we ask that they immediately call our animal helpline on 03000 999 999 for advice.
