UK man finds snake in his shopping bag

One man got more than he bargained after he discovered a live snake in his grocery bag. From the Chronicle Live:

Dean thinks the snake may have been curled up in a pair of thick socks which he had also bought on Saturday’s shopping trip. He added: “I think it’s maybe been keeping warm in them before coming out once I arrived back.” Wayne Mailer, who runs Dragons Den Exotic Pets in Newcastle, said: “Looking at the picture, this appears to be an Amery Corn Snake. “I think it’s probably only a hatchling maybe only a few weeks old . At the minute it doesn’t appear to be in the best of health, probably due to the cold weather. “More than likely, it is an escapee pet.”
