Builders
found a brightly-coloured albino milk snake on their construction site.
The 1.5
ft (0.5m) red and white reptile was discovered slithering around in the dirt in
Europa Way, Ipswich.
The snake
appeared to be in good health. It is not venomous or dangerous to humans.
The RSPCA
said it was not clear if it was an escaped pet or had been abandoned, but was
taken to a local specialist to be looked after.
The RSPCA revealed it
rescued more than 4,000 exotic animals - including 500 snakes - across England
and Wales in 2018.
A large
corn snake nicknamed Dave was found by
police officers in a street in Cambridge in May, while a 9ft (2.7m)
python that escaped from its owner, also in Cambridge, was
recaptured earlier this month after several days on the
slither.
