Boa constrictors are native to South and Central America and should not be exposed to temperatures of less than 23C.
Ms Wright, an inspector with the charity, said she was "unsure" of the cause of death of the reptiles.
"The circumstances they were found in are very concerning," she said.
"We are keen to ascertain what happened to these snakes and how they came to be there.
"If anyone recognises these reptiles, please contact our confidential animal helpline on 03000 999 999."
