Snake! Woman says she found one in bag of potatoes from Wal-Mart

A woman says she got an extra ingredient in a bag of potatoes purchased at Wal-Mart: a three-and-a-half-foot orange-and-white snake.

According to a video from WTAE, Bonnie Raygor of North Huntingdon, Pa., bought a bag of potatoes from Wal-Mart about a week ago. The bag remained closed until she got out some of the spuds to cook on Thursday.

That’s when she found the snake.

“First I saw its underbelly, which is white. I thought I had a bad potato. Instead I had a snake," Raygor told WTAE. "The bag was sealed. ... So I'm assuming it was in there when I bought it. I screamed."

The fast-thinking snake wrangler got the critter into a reptile enclosure she still had for previous pets. Based on Web research, she thinks it’s a “corn snake.”

Maybe it’s one of those “buy x, get y free” promotions.

As far as I know, they have not bred a leucistic corn yet.

However, they have created a "Blizzard" corn.

Innit a beauty?

"All" she got was an Albino.

[lucky rip] ;D

Thanks!

I look forward to seeing them again when they’re bigger.

As of now, all I have are the resident Garters.

The guy up the road ran over my semi-tame black rat snake, Slinky, as he was crossing my lane.

I LMAO at that movie.

99% of the snakes were CGI and the real ones “charging down the aisles, attacking passengers” were baffled Ball Pythons.

Pitiful...just pitiful.

They’re ‘toy snakes’.

He’s still in the bag frantically looking for the snake he was after.

Me too.

And to make it worse, he lied about how it happened and ‘promised’ to rustle up some snakes from the woods and bring them here as ‘replacements’.

So far, nothing.

He almost hit the back of my car, swerving to get Slinky but claimed he ‘shot out so fast he couldn’t avoid him’.

This was a 60 degree morning and poor Slinky was probably so cold he could barely move.

It was intentional.

F’in a-hole. Any chance of some “informal” justice?

Anyone who runs over ANY animal on purpose is lacking in humanity, at the very least. Any way you can-um-find out if he has a rodent problem?
