Poor snake! Boas need to be kept warm - and it just goes to show how resilient they are that it had found a rabbit hole to snug up in. I wonder if there was a rabbit in the hole to begin with? Still, it wouldn't have lasted out a winter - so it was just as well it was found. I see they say it was "covered in mites" - some horrid owner either couldn't be bothered with the treatment or couldn't afford the treatment for it and quite obviously dumped it. I like the "safety advice" of "throw a stone at it". LOL Sounds a bit medieval, but it would work!
I agree, I thought the safety advice was a bit weird. I wonder what sort of person would dump a snake in the countryside. It is wrong on so many levels isn't it ?
Our snakes are on the small side ~ the only poisionous one we have is the adder and that is more likely to slink away than attack. It's only two or three feet long too.
Snakes alive!! You certainly don't expect that on a jog in the Peak District!! LOL.
ReplyDeleteIt makes you wonder what else has been released into the wild ... black cats anyone ?
DeleteShe was a brave lady to catch a snake that size,how cruel for someone to dump it.Ann
ReplyDeleteI hope they can find the person who did it ... and prosecute them.
DeleteYikes! I would have run for the hills.
ReplyDeleteI would have been in front of you ...

DeleteThrow a stone at it is also a trick for if you come across a rattlesnake while walking the hills or byways.
