Experts say due to the neatness of the cuts it could only have been done by a human.
And the poor snake may have been alive when it had its skin sliced off.
The RSPCA feared the python could have been an unwanted pet.
It was found in Pitwell Lane, Evesham, Worcestershire.
Neil Loy, Animal Rescue Officer at the charity, said: “This poor snake had been skinned from head to tail and left in a prominent place.
“Due to the neatness of the cuts, there are strong suspicions that a human was responsible for this.
“And we would like to get to the bottom of this awful incident.
“We do not know the cause of death or indeed if the snake was alive when the skinning happened.“We would urge anyone with firsthand information about what may have happened to this Burmese python to get in touch on the RSPCA’s appeals line on 0300 123 8018, quoting incident number 01455722.”
It happened on 22 February, as reported on NeedToKnow.
