Snake freed after spending months in van

A snake has been released after living in a rental van for five months.

Officers at the Scottish SPCA said that Mushu the corn snake went missing in June when her owner Gavin Burnett hired the Hertz van to move house.

The Scottish SPCA were called to Aberdeen on Thursday to reports from a “completely terrified” woman of a snake that was moving around on a seat.

Mushu disappeared into the bodywork of her temporary home.

She was then towed to an animal rescue centre where she came out of her own accord yesterday.
