Each year the Province of the Channel Islands Order of the Secret Monitor chose two charities to support and in the past year one of those charities was the Guernsey Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (GSPCA).

The GSPCA helps over 3000 wild animals every year and many more domestic and those in need.

The animal the GSPCA helps more than any is the humble hedgehog, in fact over 700 in a year.

Currently at the GSPCA we have 3 snakes in need of homes.

“From Enrique who is tiny to Peter who is over 3 feet we really want to find these snakes the best home we can.”

“Ideally they need homes with experienced homes or those that have done a lot of homework on their care.”

“They all need specialist vivarium’s and all eat diets that might make those a little squeamish uncomfortable.”

The GSPCA each year are called on to help animals that have travelled great distances.

Earlier this year we helped two snakes that snuck into the luggage of travels back to the Bailiwick one from Mexico and the other from Spain.
