A man found a terrifying python inside a box of Corn Flakes

Earlier today, we told you about the man who was horrified when he found a rat in his shopping. But just when you thought it was safe to go back in the kitchen, we give you this bloke in Australia – who discovered a giant python in a box of Kellogg’s Corn Flakes. Jared Smith, 22, was making lunch in his Sydney apartment when he saw the terrifying diamond python nestled in the cereal box. He told The Daily Telegraph: ‘I peeked in the box, saw its head pop out, and that’s when I dropped my food on the counter and bolted for the door.’ ‘The python was over two metres long and I couldn’t believe it was jammed into this small cereal box. ‘When I got there I actually had to tear the box to get it out, that’s how tightly squeezed in it was. ‘It’s likely it was hiding in there to feel secure’. After Jared enlisted the help of his dad to deal with the creature, the pair called the New South Wales Wildlife, Information, Rescue and Education Service (WIRES). A rescuer tore the cereal box open, allowing the snake to wriggle out before it was returned to nearby bush land. A WIRES spokesman added that the snake was probably hiding in the book in a bid to feel safe.
