Huge dead snake has dog walker's mother 'running for the hills'
South Wales Echo
|October 16, 2025
A MASSIVE snake was spotted at a Welsh beauty spot.
-
Dog walker Charlotte Smith came across the huge reptile, thought to be a type of python, at Bargoed Common on Saturday.
The 31-year-old said she became aware of it when her mixed breed dog Ella found it and tried to roll on it.
Charlotte estimated the reptile was around 1.5m long. She said: "I'm not scared of snakes at all, but I'm very aware of adders as a dog walker so I screamed and grabbed my dog. My mum, who is terrified of snakes, came over and asked what I was screaming about and then she was gone - running for the hills."
