Boy finds snake in cereal box (England!!)
A five-year-old boy got a nasty surprise when a 60 centimetre snake slithered out of his breakfast cereal box.
Jordan Willett, from England, discovered the non-venomous reptile in his box of Golden Puffs on Monday.
"My lad, he went to open his cereal and luckily enough I was behind him because a snake popped out," the boy's mother, Theresa, said.
"I just screamed. I grabbed the box off him and found some tape. Jordan's still in shock. He's not eating. Neither am I."
Netto, the supermarket chain from which the family bought the cereal, says it is checking its stock and pursuing the matter with the makers of Golden Puffs.
An expert who examined the corn snake, which feeds on mice and birds, concluded it had been kept as a pet in England and had been well looked after.

Of course this wouldn't happen here!
