Snake on a pane: reptile tries to enter through bedroom window in Essex

Woman calls RSPCA after finding 3ft snake trying to get into her home in Basildon

A woman called the RSPCA after a 3ft (90cm) snake tried to get into her bedroom window in Basildon, Essex, this month.

Enola Evans, who was sent to remove the creature, having started work with the animal rescue charity only a month earlier, said: It's not every day you get woken up by a snake trying to get into your bedroom through a window. The woman was terribly shocked.
