A horrified litter picker admitted she "squealed" upon discovering four live pythons inside two pillowcases dumped by the side of the road.
Maria Clutterbuck, 54, initially thought she had found two bags of sand on Chosen Way in Hucclecote, Gloucester on Good Friday but a closer inspection found she could not be more wrong.
The pillowcases in fact contained four huge pythons and it's believed the snakes would have died if they had not been found.
