The Scottish SPCA has launched an appeal to find a new home for a snake who has spent more than three years staying at its Aberdeenshire centre.
The female cornsnake, who is called Snowflake, first arrived the the Drumoak Animal Rescue and Rehoming Centre on Christmas Day 2013.
The charity is hoping 2017 will be the year she finds her “forever home”.
Centre manager Graeme Innes said: “Sadly Snowflake has been with us for longer than 3 years.
“She came to us through no fault of her own on Christmas day as a juvenile snake and is now almost fully grown.
“She has been known to be temperamental in the past but with patience and lots of handling this has gotten a lot better.
“While we’re very fond of having Snowflake here, it would be wonderful if 2017 proved to be the year she found her new forever home.”
Anyone who can offer Snowflake a new home is being asked to contact the Scottish SPCA’s Drumoak centre on 03000 999 999.
