The ISPCA is seeking a home for the snake found recently in a park in north Leitrim.
The python snake now named 'Penelope' was found in July in the Ecopark in Kinlough.
It's being cared for at a reptile centre in Letterkenny for rehabilitation.
The ISPCA says as no owner has come forward they are now looking for a new one to take on the responsibility of caring for 'Penelope'.
Kevin McGinley is a Senior Inspector with the ISPCA in the North West:
