Owners sought after snake captured in Kilkenny handed over to National Reptile Zoo

A snake that most likely escaped from its owner in Kilkenny has been brought into the care of the National Reptile Zoo in Kilkenny City.

The National Reptile Zoo are hoping that they'll be able to reunite the snake with its owners by getting the word out there.

"This little guy was found a few days ago here in Kilkenny, during the very cold weather, and was dropped into us," the Zoo said in a statement.

"Most likely he’s managed to escape from his human. So if you are or know the owner, please get in contact."
