Workers at the Guinness brewery in Dublin were a little shocked to discover a snake at St. James’ Gate.
The reptile was found yesterday while staff at the Diageo Logistics Centre were unpacking a delivery container which had arrived from Texas.
The Dublin Society for Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (DSPCA) were duly called out to remove the reptile.
It has now been christened ‘JR’ because of his place of origin.
He was then taken to Vet Bairbre O’Malley who is one of the leading Irish authorities on exotic pets.
She has identified him as a non-poisonous corn snake who was a little underweight and somewhat dehydrated.
JR is now being nursed back to health.
He is one of many snakes and reptiles that the DSPCA has rescued over the years but he is just the first one from Texas.
