Employees who work at the Manchester New Hampshire Market Basket were amazed to see a snake that is an ornate cat eyed snake that is poisonous that came from Ecuador that was inside of a shipment of bananas.
The management of the Market Basket called an officer the New Hampshire Fish and Game Law Enforcement Division who removed the snake from the supermarket and take the snake to the Rainforest Reptile Shows where Mack Ralbovsky who is the vice president of the venue where the snake is now located mentioned that the snake is poisonous, but not harmful to humans.
Mack mentioned that the snake likes to eat lizards and amphibians as part of their diet.
I would avoid any poisonous snake of any kind for the record.

What an unpleasant surprise. I guess the snake wanted to get to the states.

That is what some of the animal control officers were saying that the snake wanted to come to America.

Like the meme says, you don’t get this with ice cream, so obviously eating ice cream is better for you.

-------------W. C. Fields once said that he carried a flask of whiskey in case of a snake bite and a small snake. He could have said the same of ice cream.

Mr. Snake was trying to enter the country illegally. Completely foiled by a bunch of bananas.

I avoid snakes, too. Even nonpoisonous ones can be dangerous.

That is true since it is better to be safe than sorry dealing with snakes.

That's really dangerous. They shouldn't sell those bananas if the snake has licked them.

I am in agreement with you that the bananas should be thrown away since a snake was in the package.

That's an illegal immigrant there. The snake took a dunkie way to enter the states.
Jokes apart, I want to avoid snakes at any time. I admire them on screen, they look majestic. But seeing one in real is no fun, it scares me.

@Deepizzaguy I don't like them near me. But I enjoy them in zoo where I feel a distance. I love to watch them on screen. They are beautiful!!

It was good that it was noticed and removed before a customer got bitten. Any snake bite would feel harmful to me, I think.
