Appeal after family find red snake under wheelie bins in Poole
A POOLE family had a shock this morning when they discovered a metre long red snake on the drive.
Liz Magee of Fortescue Road, Upper Parkstone said her daughter found it when she went out to pick up wheelie bins uprooted by the windy weather.
"I was in the shower and I could hear her shouting about a snake," she said.
She believes it to be a North American corn snake and is keen to reunite it with its owner.
It slid under a plank in the garden and a local reptile shop is due to pick it up.
Anyone who knows where the slithery pet belongs can contact Mrs Magee on 07958 742765.
