London is a place I avoid if at all possible. It's crowded, noisy, threatening and generally disagreeable.
However, when considering what to be on my guard for, I have never included itinerant boa-constrictors in my assessment.
Quote:
Feather boa
The sight of a snake eating a dead pigeon on a busy London street caused a few double-takes from passers-by.
The boa constrictor, which triggered screams when onlookers realised what it was, was rescued by the RSPCA, which said:
“It might be an escaped pet, or more worryingly, someone may have deliberately dumped it and left it to fend for himself.”
Dave Fawbert spotted the snake, which he believed at the time to be a python, while walking home along Leytonstone High Road on Saturday.
