There are some things you expect to find in the cushions of your couch. But for one Southern California man, he made a terrifying discovery: a 7-foot snake.
CHULA VISTA, Calif. -- There are some things you expect to find in the cushions of your couch - loose change, maybe even a stray potato chip. But for one Southern California man, he made a terrifying discovery.
Alex Trejo, owner of So-Cal Rattlesnake Removal, uncovered a massive snake hiding in someone's couch in the San Diego County city of Chula Vista. "This guy calls me, he's pretty frantic, and he's like 'There's a snake in my couch,'" Trejo recalled."I literally lift the cushion and there is this giant 7-foot Vietnamese blue beauty rat snake just coiled up right behind the cushion," Trejo said."You would be more lucky to find a Rolex sitting on the ground than you would a snake like this.
He says it is legal to own these snakes, so it's a probably a pet that got loose and ended up slithering into the home. The snake thrives in tropical weather and being outside of a controlled climate for a few days apparently took a toll on it. Trejo says the snake now has a respiratory infection."We really are keeping our fingers crossed hoping the snake makes it," Trejo said.
