FOUR CAPTURED WHILE ANOTHER 'MAY STILL BE OUT IN THE WILD'
Scunthorpe Telegraph
|June 19, 2025
POLICE in North Lincolnshire are investigating after four exotic snakes were captured in the area with another still suspected to be on the loose.
The force received reports of non-native snake species being abandoned in the Twigmoor and Cleatham areas on June 11.
The release of any animal that is not native to the United Kingdom is an offence under the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981.
A Humberside Police spokesperson said on social media: "So far four snakes have been captured by colleagues who work with exotic animals. They are believed to be reticulated pythons. We suspect that one snake may currently still be out in the wild."
