A tea party almost took a tragic turn when a Lansing, Michigan, girl got an unexpected visit from her family’s pet snake.
“Station 6 welcomed an unusual visitor and helped rescue it from a teacup. This young lady was having a tea party when her pet snake decided to join in, only to find itself stuck in the cup,” the Lansing Fire Department shared in a Facebook post obtained by WLNS-TV. The post also included a few pictures of a fireman using a pair of clippers to remove the snake from what appears to be a tea cup handle.
The snake is apparently OK and will presumably stick to mice from now on.
