"we were ssshocked when we opened the box to find a 5ft boa constrictor!"
A FIVE-foot killer snake was found outside of a MCDONALD’S – after it was initially mistaken for a run-of-the-mill adder.
Animal rescuers found the massive boa constrictor after being called out for an injured adder spotted close to the burger chain.
The deadly serpents can grow up to THREE METRES long, with their stretching mouths allowing them to devour prey whole.
And just last week a 27-year-old man from Pennsylvania, US, was strangled to death by a massive five-and-a-half-metre beast.
The RSPCA were called to tame the burger-hunting beast in Bognor Regis, West Sussex, yesterday (August 2).
The RSPCA said: “We came to rescue this beauty who was found outside McDonald’s in Bognor Regis.
“Reported as an injured adder, we were ssshocked when we opened the box to find a 5ft boa constrictor!”
RSPCA Inspector Hannah Nixon said: “Based on the report that was phoned in, I was expecting an adder – which is a fairly common native British snake.
“But when I peeked in the box, I was confronted with a full 5ft of boa constrictor – an exotic, non-native snake and not what I was expecting at all!
“The poor animal did look like he had been in the wars a bit, with a few scratches and cuts, so I have taken the boa to our Stubbington Ark animal centre in Fareham, Hampshire, to get him checked out.
