In a video, mum Renée Pallister filmed a snake as it slid its way across her daughter’s collection of pink shoes. “Not exactly what you want to find in your baby’s room when you come home,” she said. “It likes pink shoes. It’s quite a long snake.”
Ms Pallister revealed that her teenage son had luckily discovered the snake while home sick from school. “My son was sick and found it first. I was at work and drove home,” she wrote in the comments section. “Lucky he was home otherwise my four-year-old daughter would have been the first in her room.”
Ms Pallister had the snake removed by a professional snake handler. Still calming down after her family’s close encounter, she joked that she still had a case of “snake PTSD”. “I haven’t been able to sleep much,” she replied to one commenter. “Even though the snake was removed I still keep waking up and checking my daughter’s room.” After discovering her slippery, uninvited house guest, Ms Pallister searched the room for snake entry points. “This one got in by a small hole that went unnoticed,” she wrote. “We have patched it up now.”
While some commenters expressed concern, others were amused by the snake’s taste in shoes. “Took me a minute to notice the snake. I don’t know why I was fixated on the shoes,” one wrote. “He likes pink shoes but doesn’t have any feet,” another added. Ms Pallister said the snake was also a huge children’s literary fan, knocking over multiple books from the bookshelf while inside the bedroom.
Always avoid approaching or touching a snake if you do encounter one — it is always safest to assume it is venomous (有毒的). Please do not attempt to engage directly with a snake unless it is in a controlled environment with a professional snake handler. Here’s what to do if you are unlucky enough to be bitten.
