Dead snake found in Xmas wreath

Tue, 17 Dec 2019


A man from the Island has found a dead snake in his Christmas wreath.
 
Karl Gaskell and his wife bought the natural decoration from a supermarket to hang on their front door.
 
On closer inspection, they saw scales sticking out from the wooden frame, revealing a dead snake inside.
 
Karl snipped open the string holding it together and pulled out a dead grass snake, believed to have been hibernating before being squashed inside the wreath.
 
He said: 'We were just super unlucky I think, because it was the first wreath we'd bought ever!
 
'It's really put us off getting one again this Christmas!'
