Huge snake found in Queen's Park as South Side locals stunned by shock discovery
A HUGE snake was discovered in a Glasgow park, shocking local residents.
The writhing reptile slithered through Queen's Park, in the south side of the city, yesterday evening.
It was spotted by Glasgow woman Emma Charsley, who reported the errant serpent to the Scottish Society for the Protection of Animals (SSPCA).
The National understands that the snake is now in the care of the animal welfare organisation.
Posting to a local Facebook group, Emma urged anyone missing the animal, thought to be a wandering pet, to get in touch with the SSPCA.
Other users expressed horror over the find.
The SSPCA was approached for comment.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
