| The snake |
(Scroll down for video) A woman was shocked to find a snake inside a bag of potatoes she purchased at Walmart.
The woman said the snake she found inside the bag was orange and white, and was nearly four feet long.
Bonnie Raygor of North Huntingdon, Pennsylvania, bought the bag of potatoes from Walmart a week ago. The bag remained unopened until she came home, and decided to cook some of the potatoes on Thursday.
That is when she found the snake.
"First I saw its belly, which was white. At first, I thought I had a bad potato. Instead, it was a snake,"Raygor said. "The bag was sealed. So I'm assuming it was there when I bought it. I screamed," she also said.
The quick thinking woman trapped the snake into a snake catcher that she still had after owning pets in the past. Based on her research, she believes the snake to be a corn snake.
Raygor called the store to advise them about her unpleasant encounter.
"First, they said I should take it to the garden department and they will take care of it," Raygor said. "I was not satisfied, so I called and asked to speak to a manager, and the manager told me that if I had a receipt, I could get a refund," she said.
Walmart later said that its food safety team would be in contact with the customer. The store also plans to be in contact with the potato dealer to locate the origin of the snake.Mobile video not loading? Click here to view
