Find out what to do if you find this slithery guy...

We cannot even imagine what it must be like to have a snake as a pet. The most obvious reason being that Carol Ofori is not a fan of the slithery creatures...

But there are those that like what they like, and in true spirit, we respect the concept of 'each to their own'...

So when we heard about Preesen Nair, the owner of a two-metre snake from Phoenix, we got goosebumps. But not because he was a pet snake owner, but because his beloved snake escaped from his home. 

Preesen shared that he has a love for snakes, in total he has fifteen snakes, some boa constrictors, an anaconda, and pythons. All his snakes are non-venomous and are not harmful to humans. 

He loves reptiles and snakes, and says that he has such a wonderful relationship with his snakes. All of them are enclosed and this is the first time that he has experienced one of them escaping.
