RESIDENTS have raised concerns after a man was spotted 'wearing' a large python around his neck while allegedly driving a golf buggy at Stoke Park.

Apparently channelling their inner Britney Spears, the unnamed person was seen with a large snake wrapped around their neck as they casually drove around the 300-acre estate in Stoke Poges, Buckinghamshire.

A resident, who wishes to remain anonymous, claims his wife saw a “guy in a baseball cap ‘wearing’ a giant white python which must have escaped”.

The resident believes it was around 6ft in size. 

The man was driving a Stoke Park buggy “going to Oakmead House”, the resident added.

Stoke Park Country Club was bought by new owners, Reliance Group, in 2021. They have been contacted for a comment.

According to the concerned resident, his wife contacted Stoke Park who “fobbed” her off “saying it was nothing to do with them”.

“We are really not happy because if that snake has escaped then it could easily be a danger… it’s pretty outrageous behaviour”, the resident continued.

A spokesperson for the RSPCA said: “Snakes are excellent escape artists and will take the opportunity of a gap in an enclosure door, or a loose-fitting lid to make a break for it.

“As snakes become more active during hot weather, we would urge all pet snake owners to be extra vigilant at this time of year, invest in an enclosure suitable for the particular species and make sure that enclosure is kept secure - and locked if necessary - when unattended.”

RSPCA have given advice on what to do if you come across a snake in the wild.

A spokesman said: “If anyone finds a snake they believe is non-native the RSPCA’s advice is to keep a safe distance, monitor the snake and call the charity’s helpline on 0300 1234 999 or a local reptile charity will also be able to help.”

Stoke Park is a famous, listed sprawling mansion that has served as the filming location for several major films, including James Bond's Goldfinger and Tomorrow Never Dies, Bridget Jones's Diary and Layer Cake.

It also hosts the annual Boodles Tennis Championships as a warm-up to Wimbledon, a week prior to the Championships.
