What would you do if you found a snake slithering on your couch? 10NewsPena explains why the professional called to remove this snake was surprised by what he found.
“This guy calls me, is pretty frantic and he's like there's a snake in my couch,” said Alex Trejo.
Trejo owns So-Cal Rattlesnake Removal and gets calls like that all the time, but even he was surprised by what he found.“You'd be more lucky to find a Rolex sitting on the ground than a snake like this.”Wrangling a snake that big wasn’t easy, but Trejo says they aren't venomous just a bit defensive sometimes.As for where this blue beauty came from -- that's still a mystery. The homeowner says it doesn’t belong to him.
Trejo tells ABC 10News it’s legal to keep this breed as a pet and believes this one most likely escaped from its owner. The Vietnamese blue beauty rat snake thrives in tropical weather and being outside of a controlled climate for a few days took a toll. Trejo says it now has a respiratory infection. “I have a very good friend who deals with these exotic animals and he's treating the snake right now. We really are keeping our fingers crossed hoping the snake makes it.”
