Next year they might want to stick with a fake tree!
Rob and Marcela Wild, along with their two children had just finished decorating. That when, according to the Daily Mail, Rob says:
We were admiring our work when my wife Marcela pointed to our two cats and said she thought there might be a mouse in the tree as they were staring at it. They often bring “gifts” in from the farm we live on so Marcela went to have a look and moved a bauble and saw a snake’s head staring straight back at her.
Yep. A snake.
A local snake catcher was called in to wrangle it and thankfully so. The snake was a boomslang which is one of the world’s most poisonous snakes.
