The RSPCA says it expects a 'surge' in creatures being abandoned amid spiralling fuel prices.
A leading animal charity has said it is concerned rising energy prices may be prompting owners of exotic creatures to dump their pets.
The stricken serpents, and a third found on a nearby grassed area, were discovered in Scarborough this week.North Yorkshire Police found the binned snakes on Wednesday and the third a day later after earlier sightings in the Falsgrave suburb.A spokesperson said the animals, which kill by constriction rather than poison, were in good health and now being cared for by an expert.
He said the force was working with the RSPCA and would like to speak to anyone who may know the snakes' owner, or the circumstances leading up to them being dumped.An RSPCA spokesperson said many people did not realise the commitment such creatures needed, including using electricity to heat their enclosures.
