An elderly couple in UK were recently left shocked when they opened their oven to cook some chips and found a snake inside. The incident took place on September 28 at Stockport, according to a press release by the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (RSPCA). According to RSPCA, an 82-year-old woman, who does not want to be named, says she got the shock of her life when she opened the oven and found a 3-foot-long African brown snake inside.

"When I opened the oven door and saw it I got the shock of my life. I have recently had a cataract operation and was wondering if my eyes were deceiving me - but my husband saw it too."
