A family were in "floods of tears" after their neighbour came across an unexpected surprise.
Katy Wafer said she has been "tearing the home apart" looking for corn snake Ginger after she had escaped from her vivarium through a broken panel. They first noticed she was missing last month when a ventilation panel appeared to have fallen on the back of her vivarium.
Immediately appealing for help on social media, Katy urged people in the Penny Lane area to keep their eyes out for the bright orange snake as she said she was "harmless" and "beautiful". But after three weeks of panic, Ginger has been found.
