The boomslang snake was hiding in a family's Christmas tree in the Western Cape, South Africa.
Rob and Marcela Wild wasted no time in calling in a professional after they discovered one of Africa's most venomous snakes hiding between the tinsel and baubles at their home in South Africa on Friday. Having decorated the tree just hours earlier, they spotted their cats staring at its branches.
5 meters long, Heyns told CNN on Tuesday.He said he instructed the family to stay away from the tree, but to"keep their eyes on the snake" until his arrival. "The snake stayed in the tree for two hours until I got there," Heyns said. He used"snake tongs" to place it on the floor, where it was"easier to handle," he added."Once I had it under control the family came right up to see the snake.
