To think this cannot be legal...

[user1481143387]

DS1 13 months would not go to sleep tonight so DP took him in the pushchair for a walk. He came across an absolutely massive snake in the park. Someone had let him out of a large tank apparently (not in the pic). Lots of bystanders taking pics. I know people can have these in their homes, but in public??? Cannot be legal right?

I'm a regular but name changed as I knew people would ask where this was and obviously telling the location could be outing. This is in Roberts Park, Saltaire, West Yorkshire.

This is for real.

WTF?!!!!

I'm laughing at a snake going for a walk, wouldn't it go for a slither? Lol

Yes @FASH84 usually DH out of the kitchen!!

They do run a lot faster than people think, if I knew how to do it I'd post a video !

The snake is beautiful, but I don't think I'd take one of mine out in the park. They move like greased weasels when the mood takes them.

HerRoyalNotness Yes.people really did do that

Can we just appreciate the fact that the owner in no physically possible way took his SNAKE for a WALK .....

Bet there’s a Jack Russell in that park more aggressive than the snake!

Possibly inside the python.

Accidentally coming across a snake is my worst nightmare. I would freak if I saw this.

A colleague once told me that there was a guy who regularly walked around Brixton market with his pet snake. I've avoided Brixton ever since.

I have a client (I'm a vet) who lets their snakes out in the front garden and finds it hilarious when they slither onto the garden wall and terrify people walking past. I laugh along politely whilst thinking "thank fuck you're not my neighbour!"

But - how did he get it to the park and back? I buckle my dogs up with seat belts but not sure how you would do that to a python

That's not a snake, it's a basilisk! Hope it's owner knows Parseltongue.

I'm presuming the two very chilled out guys in the photo are the owners. Never knew letting a snake out for a wonder was a thing!

karl Do they just sit there on the wall?!

Frangipani that’s several shades of amazing.

Have you seen the jackets you can knit for them? They fit over the shell and button underneath, so you can have a tortosaur on a lead.

No?

:o

user well, I'd love to have been there, but I've always referred to small dogs as snake food, if I owned a Yorkie or something I'd definitely pick it up!

IKill they can borrow DS2, he sounds like he speaks fluent Parseltongue. He also has a scar exactly the same place as Harry's. He had an argument with a table when he was 2.

I love snakes and we've got a 5ft corn snake at home. That is NOT a corn snake! Looks like a python - hope it's owner was there.

For a while we had a guy locally who would bring his snake into town so it could feel the sunshine. He would just sit on a bench in the main shopping street and people would stop and talk to him. He was approached by the police a couple of times but there was no reason why he couldn't be in public with the snake so they let him be.

Butchy when I lived in Maidstone, there was a man who walked around with a cockatoo on his shoulder and bird shit down his back.

Would love to see this and would not bother me at all seeing the snake although kind of strange

Fuck sake, that’s me having nightmares tonight then 🙈😂

I've seen this snake before at Roberts park the guy must be a regular.. last time he was near the playground asking all the kids did they want to stroke it!
