Authorities in
Maine have warned the public about snakes after a large snake skin was found near
the Presumpscot River on Saturday.
Westbrook
police said they have been searching for a 10-foot snake since June after a
woman reported seeing it near a playground. There have been several other
sightings of the reptile, dubbed “Wessie,” since, according to WMTW-TV.
The snake skin
was found near Riverbank Park at around 3 p.m., Police Chief Janine Roberts
said.
Police are
trying to determine the type of snake.
“Until the
type of snake is determined and we can assess the safety risk, we caution
people who recreate along the Presumpscot River to remain alert, maintain a
safe distance from any wildlife, and report any sightings of the snake to the
Westbrook Police Department,” authorities said in a statement.
