Snake missing for over a year gets dropped on roof by crow
Published in Weird News
(UPI) Animal rescuers in Britain said a pet snake that had been missing from her home for over a year was found after being dropped onto a rooftop by a crow.
The RSPCA said rescuers responded to a home where a resident spotted a 3-foot corn snake in their garden.
"When we arrived, the snake had vanished -- and was then discovered on the roof of a garage," the RSPCA said in a Facebook post. We suspect that a crow had given the snake a not-so-helpful 'leg up,' but thankfully, we were able to come to her aid.
The RSPCA discovered the snake was a pet named Agnes who had been missing from her home for over a year.
"She was found to have a respiratory infection from being outside in the cold, but it's a miracle that she survived at all after so long," the post said. She has been treated for this, and we'll be finding her a new home in due course as her owner can no longer keep her.
The RSPCA acknowledged the story might sound a bit unbelievable.
"For the record: This is a real rescue, not an April Fool," the post clarified.
