Giant snakes reportedly on the loose in a town have left locals terrified with shocking photos of the creatures circulating.
Images which emerged on social media today appear to show the huge snakes on the ground by hi-viz clad workers in Greenock, Scotland.
Residents of the Inverclyde town have been shocked by the images which show the snakes longer than a human.
It is understood the pictures were taken near a pub and it is unclear how many loose.
A source told the Daily Record that one of the animals has died.
The No Context Inverclyde Twitter account released a video of the slithery customers.
In the video a man with a distinct West Coast accent can be heard saying 'f****** h*** man look at the size of it."
