A woman who bought her huge pet snake into a local newsagent had to wrestle her reptile back over the counter after losing all control during their bizarre trip out.
The shopkeeper can be heard screaming in terror as the creature - thought to be a boa constrictor or python - suddenly slithered away from its struggling owner.
A shopper said "all hell broke loose" when the distracted woman brought her six-foot-long snake with her as she grabbed some essentials.
