Boy finds snake in cereal box

  1. A British boy sitting down to breakfast had a nasty surprise when he discovered a two-foot long snake inside his box of cereal.



    Jordan Willett, 5, thought he had found a toy when the serpent -- a harmless corn snake -- slithered out of the packet of "Golden Puffs" his parents had bought from discount store Netto in Telford, central England.

    "It was quite long and popped its head up. I've seen snakes on TV before but never in a box of cereal," he told the Daily Mail newspaper.

    Netto said Wednesday it was talking to its suppliers to review procedures and check on its stock.

    "This does seem to be a bizarre incident but we are treating it seriously," said Netto trading director Clive Cooper. Corn snakes, which feed on mice and birds, are commonly kept as pets.

    actually now that you think about it, its probably better that they found the snake alive. cuz that means the cereal was packed recently..fresh. if the snake was found dead and partly decayed..problems.
