“Shocking Encounter: Man’s Horrifying Discovery Inside Bag of Aldi-Bought Broccoli”
Neville, an industrial cleaner, was astounded by what he saw.
It was quite awful. He remarked, “I’m not good with snakes.” The broccoli would have been loose throughout the house if I had simply left it outside in the kitchen.
“With two vulnerable people living here, that would have been a huge risk for us.”
He called his sister Ann-Marie Tenkanemin for assistance after realizing the thing was too large to be a caterpillar, and she recognized it as a snake.
After popping it in a tub, the two returned to the Dudley Road Aldi where Neville had made the purchase.
At first, I believed she was kidding, but when I saw it move, I changed my mind. He said, “The guy in the shop was fairly scared too.
After the snake was brought to the local zoo, experts identified it as a juvenile ladder snake.
Dr. Steven J. R. Allain, a herpetologist, believes it may actually be a viperine water snake.
The reptile was brought to the Dudley Zoo, where its keepers think it is a juvenile ladder snake. But according to Dr. Steven J. R. Allain, who bored panda contacted, he tends to disagree.
Allain informed us, “After looking at the [real] picture of the snake in the broccoli, I’m not sure the zoo identified the species correctly.” “The snake appears to be a harmless fish-eating viperine water snake (Natrix maura), which can be found throughout southwestern Europe and northern Africa,” said the expert.
Allain holds a degree in zoology from Anglia Ruskin University, a master’s degree from Imperial College London, and is presently enrolled in the University of Kent’s Ph.D. program. He is interested in amphibian illness and population ecology, but his present focus is mostly on the population ecology of barred grass snakes (Natrix helvetica) and the consequences of ophidiomycosis.
