Having realised that this was not a poisonous snake but a constrictor, one fire appliance from Greenbank fire station was mobilised to the address.
The crew found the owner still hanging on to his snake.
The crew then got to work with small tools removing wall panelling until the snake became visible and accessible whereby it was returned unharmed into the hands of its owners.
