    Snake found on pineapple in shopping in Edinburgh - BBC News
    I encountered this article this morning about a snake (looks to me to be a juvenile Leptodeira species) being found in a pineapple. It stated the snake is now being cared for at Edinburgh Butterfly World. Doesn't seem to be a great deal of information on this small collection online, has anyone on here visited?

    Yes, I've visited. It's a standard butterfly walk-through connected to several rooms with vivaria. I don't remember any standout species, but there are various herps, inverts, and a hedgehog sp.
