Snakes on a ..... Carpet??
Just want to say WTF? I bent down between the old chair and the mahogany chest of drawers in the dining room to move the cable I spied on the carpet ( we've misplaced the camcorder lead and have been looking everywhere). As my fingers touched it the cable moved swiftly underneath the chest.
WTF! Enter hubs with torch to check it out. Yep it's a snake - exit stage left to do the quickest googling of our life to check the markings. There is only one poisonous snake left in the UK which is not found in the area but who knows what came in with the last bunch of bananas from Tescos. We ID the grass snake and hubs dons the gauntlets.
These are a bit blurred but you'll understand the camera shake.
My daughter's reaction when we call her to come and see "Can I hold it?" hehe, that's my girl. Snake liberated to the graveyard opposite the house.

We made really sure that it wasn't an adder before trying to retrieve it. My main concern was it could have been an imported pet that had got out.
