Sankt Augustin (dpa / lnw) - A stranger has left two snakes at the edge of the road in Sankt Augustin in the Rhein-Sieg district.
A passer-by discovered a terrarium in the Siegauen there, as the fire brigade announced on Wednesday.
A snake was still in the open container - another had already moved out.
The alarmed firefighters caught the animal and put it back in the terrarium.
Experts helped identify the snakes as corn snakes.
The non-poisonous animals posed no danger.
It was initially unclear who had exposed them.
Apparently someone had "no longer been in the mood for the animals," said a spokesman.
They were handed over to the animal shelter in Troisdorf.
