Killer snakes on the pan!

-

A DEADLY snake which slithered into a householde­r’s bathroom through the TOILET has sparked fears that venomous serpents are BREEDING in a city’s sewers.

Horrified Dawn Jones, 32, discovered the three- foot- long hisser alongside her toilet at home in Birmingham on Wednesday and called experts.

Fred Tench of the West Midlands and Black Country Reptile Associatio­n identified the reptile as a Nigerian Dune Adder – which can kill with one bite.

Fred said: “These snakes are probably breeding in the sewers, where it is wet and warm. I’d guess an unlicensed breeder flushed some down the pan when they got too much for him.

“I’d warn everyone to check under the seat before they sit down.”
