According to the reports, Heidi Cleaver, Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (RSPCA) inspector, said that the snakes were healthy and found in good condition. He reportedly said that there were 16 snakes which included 15 corn snakes and one male carpet python. He added that it is a matter of concern that someone has nearly 30 or more snakes and decided to abandon them in this cruel way. As per the reports, earlier the snakes were found in the same dustbin which were wrapped with linen printed with Toy Story graffiti. Cleaver was shocked by the way two parcels full of snakes were delivered to the fire station.

RSPCA authorities are currently trying to trace the original owner of the snakes who had abandoned them in such a negligent manner. The spokesperson of RSPCA said snakes aren’t in a position to produce their very own physique warmth so that they depend on their setting to take care of their physique temperature. The royal pythons originate from West Africa which are not acclimatized to the region and they’d require a heated setting with the proper temperature vary to keep wholesome and perform regular behaviour, the spokesperson said.
