The six-year-old snake, Antoinette, went missing during a car journey
When car mechanic Michael Noonan answered the telephone nothing could have prepared him for what the person on the other end of the call was about to say. The person making the call was Dave French and his request was like nothing Michael had heard in his 25 years fixing cars.
Sienna, 26, who is an artist and life model, wasn’t going anywhere without her beloved pet snake Antoinette. Dad Dave helped to pack all his daughter’s belongings, including Atoinette’s vivarium, into his hybrid Hyundai Kona and the trio set-off on the 18 mile trip to Glaisdale. Dave and Sienna searched both inside and outside the car. The duo even returned to Skelton in the hope six year-old Antoinette was still there but to their dismay she had disappeared.“It wasn’t the first time she’d escaped,” said Sienna. “Last time she had burrowed underneath the carpet, so I knew that she could be literally anywhere.”
Now knowing the location of Antoinette, Dave drove straight home and called the RSPCA to ask them for advice. “They said they don’t have snake traps in North Yorkshire… apparently there’s not much call for them!”Sienna French pictured with Antoinette the corn snake after it was rescued from the car by mechanic Michael Noonan.
