MEXICAN
MILK SNAKE
Lost snake for sale
Fiona McChrystal returned home from holiday only to find a Mexican milk snake in her hallway, of Embankment Road, Plymouth. so living nextdoor to a Pet Shop named Two by Two, she thought the snake may have escaped from there, but the owner Dave Willis denied. all knowledge of its existance, to the newspapers when asked, saying he thought the snake had been
dumped outside the shop.
Mexican Milk snakes are docile and not dangerous. Mr Willis intended to keep it for three months then sell it.

UPDATE; I have receieved an email from Fiona McChrystal since, which part of this says;
"This incident traumatised me so much I moved house and then a few months ago a corn snake appeared on the corner of my bath one night. It had come out of a hole in the bath panel and had escaped from my next door neighbours, although they hadn’t told me they even had a snake at the time."
"Personally" she added, "I cannot understand why people want to keep such animals as pets and when they do why they do not ensure that they are secure"
