The RSPCA is interesting for info after a big boa constrictor was left on a driveway on an Essex property.
The six-foot-long snake was dumped inside a five-foot by two-foot glass vivarium, which was left on the aspect of Hamel Way in Widdington, close to Saffron Walden, on Sunday, August 20.
The snake didn’t have any warmth or gentle sources within the tank, her water bowl was empty, and he or she wasn’t discovered till round 6.30pm.
CCTV footage reveals a person getting out of a blue/black automotive, taking the tank and snake inside out of the again, and abandoning her on the aspect of the highway.
RSPCA animal rescue officer Enola Evans was the one who rescued the snake from the place she had been dumped, after which level the poor woman was taken to a specialist aquatic and reptile centre in Norfolk.
‘The boa had been left for a few hours in the cold as there was no heating or lighting in the vivarium,’ stated Enola.
‘Despite that, she was in good condition. She was a really beautiful snake with vivid skin.
‘I have picked up a few snakes recently who were abandoned, but were sadly deceased.
‘These sorts of abandonments could be down to a number of factors such as the cost of living crisis and people not being able to take reptiles with them when they move homes – but there’s by no means any excuse to dump an animal like this.’
Snakes may look powerful and scary, however they want a really explicit type of surroundings to remain alive.
This consists of the proper degree of heating and lighting, in addition to the proper weight loss plan.
Enola stated: ‘We are continuing with our inquiries into this abandonment, and we hope we can get more information as to who the owners of this snake are.
‘Anyone who has any information or Ring Doorbell/CCTV footage of the area should ring the RSPCA appeals line number on 0300 123 8018.’
