"I couldn't believe it.

"We are now just trying to stop it going into a drain. I don't know anyone around here who keeps snakes."

Mr Brook-Smith said he assumed the snake was toy.

He said: "I saw it and just thought 'oh it's a toy', like one of those fake ones that you can play pranks on people with.
