Both snakes were found in containers in the same spot at the side of the road in Duleek.
A second snake has been found dumped in a Meath village in just over a week after school kids found the first on a litter pick.The first snake, found by teenagers on June 15, was dead and dumped along with its shedded skin.Local Senator Sharon Keogan said she hopes there are fingerprints or some evidence on the containers that can determine the origin of the snakes.
"It is just a mystery as to why two snakes, one alive and one dead, were dumped in the same spot in just over a week," she said."I was shocked when teenagers rang me to tell me about the first one and now this. It's a new one on me in all my years of dealing with litter. Senator Sharon Keogan said the first snake was found by teenagers who take part in her twice-weekly programme to get teenagers to help clean up their village and instill pride in their community.
"These young kids turn up twice a week and clean up litter around the village and in return I reward them with pizza or ice-cream or trips out, thanks to local sponsorship," she said. "It instills pride in their community and teaches them about how littering can deface an area. Some kids come back angry at litter at a spot that they had cleaned the previous day."
