Snakes alive!
A customer at an Overland Park Hobby Lobby,7102 W.119th,found an unexpected surprise in a pot she purchased at the store.
As she was leaving the store, the customer noticed the head of a snake coming out of the pot.
After Overland Park Animal Control was contacted, the snake was brought to the
University of Kansas Museum of Natural History to be identified. The snake was identified as a Western Diamondback Rattlesnake and spanned about two feet.
"The snake usually comes from the southwest United States or Mexico," said Brad Kemp. assistant
director for public affairs at the museum. "It's likely that the snake was shipped from Mexico in the pot. It could live for a month in that container without needing to eat."
Kemp said the animal was brought to KU because of the University's standing as a leading institution for herpetology, the study of amphibians and reptiles.
