Animal welfare bosses have launched a hunt for the owner of a snake found slithering around a Scots block of flats.
The red and yellow corn snake was found in Aberdeen's Marischal Court on Wednesday but no sign of the owner has been found.
It is now being looked after by the Scottish SPCA at their centre in Aberdeenshire.
Bosses at Scottish SPCA have now urged anyone with 'relevant information' to get in touch.
A social media post by the charity tonight reads: "Please note, this is not a rehoming post. Please only contact us if you have relevant information.
"This corn snake was found on Marischal Court, Aberdeen, on 18 August.
"They are now in the care of our Aberdeenshire centre, if you recognise this animal or have any information please call 03000 999 999."
The North American snake lives off rodents and constricts its prey.
It is does not have venom and is harmless to humans.
