Live snake found in bag of broccoli: ‘Pretty frightening,’ says grandfather
A man and his family were shocked to find a live snake inside a bag of broccoli
A grandfather received a scare when he opened a bag of broccoli — and found a live snake tucked inside it.
Neville Linton, 63, said discovering the young ladder snake, which is capable of a nasty bite, was a “frightening” experience, as SWNS, the British news service, reported of the incident.
He said he bought the broccoli from an Aldi branch in Stourbridge, West Midlands, in the U.K., on June 2.
He put it in the refrigerator before taking it out to prepare a meal three days later, he told SWNS.
That’s when he spotted the snake.
