Three huge snakes have been found dead at a Scots loch next to a number of bags of rubbish.
The horror discovery was made by a member of public near Carbeth Loch in Blanefield, Stirlingshire, on January 8. The Boa Constrictors - normally frequented in tropical South America - were found dumped among the litter and next to a fly-tipping spot.
Their cause of death currently remains unknown. The Scottish SPCA has launched an investigation into the discovery, which charity officers described as 'very concerning'.
