Who owns 1m snake found on path?
Police want to reunite a 1m snake found on a footpath in York with its owner.
The orange snake - nicknamed Sammy - was spotted slithering along the path on Holgate Road, York, yesterday by a member of the public, who called police.
Officers attended and found the corn snake taking refuge in a nearby hedge.
Corn snakes are popular pet snakes and are said to be docile and reluctant to bite.
They subdue their prey - mice and rats - by constriction but lack venom.
