Many locals have defended the snake owner, saying he was not causing any harm and keeping his snakes under control.

However, the Friends of Barshaw Park group has urged anyone who sees the snakes to call the police, as the local council has reportedly told them that no one has permission to bring snakes into the park.

Some people have raised safety concerns, but others have pointed out that people bring ferrets and other animals to the park.

The debate has sparked a discussion about what type of animals should be allowed in public parks.
