"They found the snake at 11 p.m. so a kind member of staff took him home until I was able to get to them," Lynn said.
Lynn said the snake appeared to be only about 3 weeks old.
"It looks as though he's been abandoned by someone who can no longer provide him with the care he needs. Unfortunately this is something we often see happening with exotic pets such as reptiles -- and reports of animals being abandoned are at their highest this time of year," he said.
The RSPCA said the snake is now being cared for by a specialist. Investigators are working to try to identify the person who abandoned the reptile.
