A horrified mum discovered a hissing 7ft snake slithering through her child\u2019s bedroom.<\/p>\n
Natasha Robinson thought her fianc\u00e9 Gary Minshull was playing a prank when she discovered the Taiwanese Beauty Rat Snake in their children\u2019s bedroom.<\/p>\n
But the 34-year-old\u2019s jaw dropped when she spotted the serpent\u2019s tongue suddenly flick in and out of its mouth.<\/p>\n
Natasha, from Chester<\/a>, Cheshire<\/a>, said: \u2018To begin with, I thought \u201cit\u2019s got to just be a grass snake\u201d or something else not so dangerous but it didn\u2019t look anything like the pictures \u2013 and it was so big.<\/p>\n \u2018We realised with the size and the look of it that it definitely wasn\u2019t native.<\/p>\n \u2018My partner and I were just in disbelief really \u2013 especially knowing it had been in there with our daughter.<\/p>\n \u2018I\u2019m just so grateful it was spotted and that she didn\u2019t accidentally tread on it.\u2019<\/p>\n \t\t The wedding accessories business owner quickly ushered three-year-old Primrose along with her sons Jacob, seven, and six-year-old Theo into the garden and checked on her pet cats who she feared might have been eaten.<\/p>\n Natasha and her 40-year-old health, safety and quality manager partner contained the snake for two hours before a couple living locally, who own exotic pets, took it away.<\/p>\n Taiwanese Beauty Rat Snakes are a non-venomous constrictor snake butthey can grow up to 10ft long.<\/p>\n It\u2019s legal to keep without a licence in Britain and they are usually docile but can strike if they perceive a threat.<\/p>\n \u2018One of my sons is autistic, he would\u2019ve grabbed it. I dread to think what could\u2019ve happened then,\u2019 Natasha said.<\/p>\n \t\t \t\t\t\tFollow Metro on WhatsApp to be the first to get all the latest news\t\t\t<\/p>\n \t\t Metro\u2019s on Whatsapp!

You\u2019d think if it was a loved pet it would\u2019ve been claimed.<\/p>\n \u2018We have been like celebrities around here ever since, I\u2019m asked about it constantly.\u2019<\/p>\n Get in touch with our news team by emailing us at webnews@metro.co.uk<\/a>.<\/p>\n For more stories like this, check our news page<\/a>.<\/p>\n \t\t\tComments Arrow Arrow![\"The](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/SEI_260056597-9e83.jpg\")
