Neville Linton,<\/p>\n<p>63, found the snake still alive in the broccoli\u2019s stem after three days.<\/p>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-3\"><\/div>\n<p>Terrified, as he has a fear of snakes, Linton\u2019s sister helped him take the vegetable to the store, where the manager was also startled.<\/p>\n<p>They later identified the snake as a young ladder snake, which is non-venomous but can bite defensively.<br \/>\nHowever, some experts, including herpetologist Dr. Steven J. R. Allain, believe it may have been a viperine water snake, a harmless species found in Southern Europe. Linton expressed concern over the potential danger to vulnerable family members, including his disabled son and mother-in-law. Aldi apologized for the incident, promising to review their safety procedures. The snake, now residing at Dudley Zoo, may have hidden in the broccoli during harvest in Mediterranean regions. Despite its frightening appearance, the snake poses little danger to humans.<\/p>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-2\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"entry-tags\"><\/div>\n<\/article>\n<div class=\"entry-footer\">\n<div class=\"share-icons\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"author-box clear\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A man in Birmingham, UK, was shocked to discover a snake inside a bag of broccoli he had purchased from Aldi.
