Pillow case snake causes a stir
02/09/2010
A woman in north London has been left baffled after a mystery caller left a pillow case on her doorstep - with a snake nestling inside.
The South American boa was left at the door of the property in Cricklewood, Barnet, after a person unknown to the homeowner turned up asking for someone called Andrew.
She fled the scene, leaving nothing but the bed linen behind, which the resident saw moving, much to her surprise.
The police were called and the snake has since been named Kojak, but officers are keen to know exactly where the reptile has come from.
"If you are the owner of the boa and wish to be re-united with your pet, or have information about where he has come from please call police on 0300 123 1212," a spokesperson said.
A report in the Weston Mercury recently told of a kitten's adventure after she decided to take a nap inside a duvet cover.
