The corn snake was in good health and transported to the GSPCA where we made it comfortable in one of our vivarium’s and put an appeal out for an owner.

That day we found the owner and later that evening they were reunited.

Geoff George GSPCA Animal Collection Officer said “On the afternoon of Thursday 21st July was called out to rescue a stray snake in St Sampsons.”

Yesterday the GSPCA were called out to a car park near the back of the airport.

The call was originally for a toad but when we arrived we were faced with a large black lizard.

After a little confusion of what species the lizard was it was cleared up by the owner who had been looking for their missing lizard for over 6 weeks.

Steve Byrne GSPCA Manager said “There was a little confusion over the species of the stray lizard we had in yesterday, but thankfully the owner came forward.”

“The lovely black lizard is a chuckwalla and had been missing for 6 weeks.”
