Today is World Snake Day a day to celebrate our legless reptile friends.

Every year the GSPCA helps snakes of various sizes and breeds and we currently have Kellogg the corn snake who has been with us for 18 days.

Steve Byrne GSPCA Manager said “Today is World Snake Day and did you know there are no snakes indigenous to Guernsey the closest thing we have is the legless lizard which is the slow worm.”

“We do however have many owners of pet snakes and 18 days later we continue to appeal for information on anyone that have lost a corn snake near Vale Road.”

With hot weather the GSPCA always receives calls and reports from the public that have seen dogs locked in cars, dogs being walked on hot pavements, animals in direct sunlight and we want to remind all pet owners of the real dangers to their pets.

With the warm weather and direct sunlight, dogs and other animals whether in cars or their pens are potentially in a situation where you could kill your pet if it is left, regardless of the situation.
