Boxall called the animal protection organization, Scottish SPCA, who took the snake into quarantine.

“When I arrived, the snake had been contained by the caller, so I safely removed the snake from the property. Upon examination, the snake was found to be a spotted python which is not venomous,” Johnstone added.

“The snake is now in quarantine at our animal rescue and re-homing center in Edinburgh.”
