"European smooth snake" news and stories

British woman finds snake in broccoli

Tina Cosby got quite a surprise when she took the broccoli she bought the day before at Tesco out of her refrigerator. Nestled amid the florets was a footlong snake.

Cosby, who has a fear of spiders, was hysterical when she saw the European smooth snake. While the snakes are not poisonous, she's lucky it was only a baby. They're known to grow up to three feet long. Tesco has apologized to the family, and has assurances from its suppliers in Spain that this will not happen again.
