Teenager Finds 6ft Snake Curled Up On Bathroom Radiator (Photos)

A 6ft snake discovered by a stunned teenager in a bathroom was recovered by a real-life pet detective.

Karen Marriott dialed 999 after her 16-year-old daughter Hannah spotted the reptile curled up in a bath mat on a radiator.

Craig Wallace, a detective based at Rochdale police station, overheard the control room call and offered to help as he has experience with keeping snakes.

Det Con Wallace went to the family's home in Littleborough, Rochdale, and managed to capture the snake in a pillow slip.



It was taken back to the station before being transferred into the care of the RSPCA.

The reptile, white with black eyes, is believed to be a northern pine snake and Det Con Wallace thinks it might be an escaped pet that got into the house during recent warm weather.
