Corn snakes are a species of rat snake native to the south western part of the United States.
Many are kept as pets here in the United Kingdom and despite their appearance, they are not venomous or harmful to humans.
Mr Fletcher believes this corn snake has been abandoned by its owner because no one has yet come forward to claim the snake following appeals on social media.

He said: The snake was very lethargic and sedative when we found it. This suggests to us it has been abandoned but how it ended up by our downpipe is a mystery.

It was the story which shocked Sheerness and put the Isle of Sheppey on the front page of every national newspaper.
A runaway train packed with 80 passengers ploughed through the buffers, demolished the ticket office and burst out of the railway station before coming to a halt on a taxi.

A young couple are worried about how to get to hospital for their baby s birth after their car was wrecked by a hit-and-run driver.
Shannon Hall, 21, who is 36 weeks pregnant, lives in Lowestoft with her fiancé Andy, 23.
They have been left upset about the incident, which happened on Blackheath Road on Tuesday, January 26 between the hours of 7:45pm and 9:45pm - and Shannon is worried how she will get to hospital for the birth of her baby. It broke our hearts. We have been struggling with money after being on furlough. This is the last thing we needed, Miss Hall said.
