A WESTVILLE North homeowner discovered a small snake in his kitchen on Friday.
The quick-thinking resident put a microwave cover lid over it, as he was concerned the snake would disappear or that his dog would get to it.
“The snake turned out to be a hatchling Mozambique Spitting Cobra. I scooped it up and took it away, later releasing it in a natural area,” said Evans.
