Snake of about eight feet long discovered outside pub in London

Bull snakes are often found in North America, so it was unusual to find one of the slithery creatures outside a pub in south London.

On Tuesday, the reptile was seen relaxing in the shade in front of the Little Crown bar in Deptford.

It was attempting to find shade from the sweltering weather, like the majority of citizens in the city.

You never know what you could find in #Deptford, The Met wrote on Twitter.

‘This handsome bull snake was keeping cool in the shade outside @littlecrownpub on New Cross Road.

‘Are you missing a snake?! If so, please get in touch with your local Snake Handlers @MPSLewisham @MPSLadywell @MPSNewCross.’

Bull snakes are renowned for their stocky nature and can often be mistaken for rattlesnakes.

They are either cream-coloured, or a yellow-brown shade with black blotches and are found as far north as Canada, and as far south as Mexico.

Luckily for those with a phobia, bull snakes are non-venomous and enjoy a diet of rodents, birds, and lizards.

Snakes have been causing havoc across the UK in recent weeks.

A driver was late to work last month after what she thought was a mechanical issue with her car turned out to be a snake under the bonnet.

A family was also left terrified after finding a ghost snake in their back garden a few weeks back.
