East Hartford, CT – Imagine going into your bathroom and seeing a brightly colorful snake slowly moving across the floor. That’s exactly what someone in East Hartford saw on Tuesday in the Middle Drive area of town.
The unexpected animal guest was reported to East Hartford Animal Control, who came right away. When animal control police got there, they saw the snake living in the bathroom. Even though it scared people at first, the snake turned out to be nice and didn’t pose any immediate danger to the residents.
Officials say that the snake was caught and taken out of the house safely and without any problems. Animal Control is now asking the public for help in figuring out where the colourful creature came from. East Hartford Animal Control can be reached at 860-291-7572 by anyone who thinks they know the snake or knows anything about its history.
It may seem strange, but snakes do sometimes get into homes, especially when it’s warmer and they’re more busy. The snake looked calm and well-behaved, which made things easier for the people who lived there.
Animal Control officers have told people that even though this snake was not dangerous, it’s still best to be careful when wildlife comes into the home. If you find yourself in a similar position, you should call animal control or a wildlife rescue service in your area instead of trying to handle the animal yourself.
The snake is now out of the bathroom and safe, but police are still trying to find its owner and find out where it came from. Do not wait to call them if you are aware of anything.
People in the neighborhood may have been a little uneasy about this strange visitor, but it shows that nature can bring strange things right to your door.
