A dead ten-foot snake has been discovered by street cleaners dumped in a pile of rubbish by suspected fly-tippers.
The creature - understood to be an albino Burmese Python - was found by the shocked council workers in Grimsby, Lincolnshire, on Monday morning.
It is thought the snake was most likely a household pet that has died and been dumped, a spokesman for the council said. The species is one of the world's largest snakes, and can grow up to 25ft-long.
