A warning has gone out to walkers on the Pembrokeshire coast path about a large snake on the loose.
Pembrokeshire Coast National park said: "The National Park Authority has been notified of sightings of a non-venomous pet snake on the Coast Path, near to St Davids.
"Members of the public are advised to avoid the snake if spotted, however, please notify the Authority on 01646 624800 if a sighting is made."
