Farmer discovers five-foot long Python in Wicklow Mountains

The snake, named Sammi by rescuers, is described as “hanging in there” but it is still very uncertain as to whether she will pull through.

A five-foot long snake has been discovered roaming the Wicklow Mountains by a local farmer.

The Burmese Python, now named 'Sammi' and believed to be female, was found to be underweight, dehydrated and injured. It is suspected that she was abandoned.
