The snake was captured 'unscathed' by officials from the Scottish Society for Prevention of Cruelty to Animals on Wednesday.
The animal welfare organization confirmed that the snake is now in the care of its center in Aberdeenshire, with the agency asking anyone with information about the reptile to contact them.
The SPCA also posted a photograph taken of the animal to its Facebook page, showing the orange and yellow snake lying on the arm and hand of one of its officials. Although corn sakes are often kept as pets in the UK, a majority of them are bred in captivity. They are harmless to humans, but prey on small rodents by use of constriction.
The reptile, which is non-venomous, generally eats small mammals, birds, lizards and smaller snakes including rattlesnakes and coral snakes.New Zealand
