\n The large snake was found in Nether Kellet on Saturday and has been taken in by Greenlands Farm Village at Tewitfield near Carnforth.\n<\/p>\n
\n Assistant manager\u00a0George Wren said: \u201cWe\u2019re not experts but we\u2019re fairly certain it is a red tailed boa\u00a0based on its markings.\u201d\n<\/p>\n
\n Staff have been able to handle the snake (Image: Greenlands Farm Village) Boa constrictors are a large, non-venomous, heavy-bodied snake species native to tropical South America.\n<\/p>\n
\n Typically\u00a0a male can grow up to 2.4 meters in length\u00a0while a female can stretch to three\u00a0meters.\n<\/p>\n
\n George said: \u201cIt was found on a backroad between Carnforth and Kellet where it was spotted by a cyclist. It\u2019s quite an unusual sight so it got a lot of attention.\n<\/p>\n
\n \u201cFrom what we know, someone brave grabbed it, put it in a box and drove it on over to us.\u201d\n<\/p>\n
\n The snake is currently being kept safe in an off show room.\n<\/p>\n
\n \u201cThis isn\u2019t a permanent home and it will be going home tonight with our general manager who has experience with reptiles and has a proper vivarium and set up,\u201d George said.\n<\/p>\n
\n It is being cared for at Greenlands Farm Village (Image: Greenlands Farm Village) \u201cIt\u2019s 100% a pet. It has a lovely temperament. All the staff have handled it and it is clearly used to being held. It\u2019s definitely not wild. Judging by the size of it, it\u2019s been well fed and well looked after and is well loved.\n<\/p>\n
\n \u201cWe were hoping it would be picked up today. Fingers crossed the family is just on holiday and will come home soon and realise it has escaped.\n<\/p>\n
\n \u201cIt will stay with us until it can be reunited with its owners.\u201d\n<\/p>\n
