Dave Fawbert spotted the boa constrictor, thought to be an abandoned pet, on High Road, Leytonstone, on Saturday morning.
According to the London Evening Standard, a Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals spokeswoman said they don’t believe the snake killed the pigeon.
The RSPCA has now taken the snake to a wildlife centre and is appealing for information about how it may have come to be in the street.
A spokeswoman for the charity said it appeared “someone had found a dead pigeon and then given it to the snake”.
