Snake found at KFC

WHAT is a snake's favourite snack? We may have found the answer.

A python around three metres in length was discovered near the front door of KFC in Grafton on Wednesday.

It is possible the snake had simply tired of eating rats and had heard about the Colonel's famous 11 herbs and spices.

One KFC customer suggested the reptile may have been hoping to find a sssssnack-box and a bottle of Ssssseven-Up.

Another report suggested the snake was trying to wriggle out of paying for its meal.

In the end, KFC staff decided to call Clarence Valley WIRES volunteers to come and collect the python.

While waiting for a snake handler to arrive, a number of nervous but inquisitive KFC customers took advantage of the free entertainment by taking photographs of the snake.

To the relief of customers and staff, Clarence Valley WIRES reptile handler Paul Jones arrived to collect the python and remove it for re-homing, but not before allowing intrepid Examiner photographer Adam Hourigan to take a quick snap.

WIRES secretary Teresa Woodley took the phone call from KFC on the day.

“KFC rang and asked us to collect the snake because no-one wanted to go in or out of the front door,” she said.

Ms Woodley said snake activity was usually limited at this time of the year but flooding and the warmer weather had got some snakes on the move. She said she received a call from a Clarenza woman yesterday asking WIRES to remove a red-bellied black snake from her home.

It is believed the snake found at KFC was brought from Minnie Water and left at KFC as a joke.
