Last night a tenant at Shaws Alley in the Baltic Triangle came home to an unannounced visitor. found at 11pm last night. 🐍
A 6ft Milk Snake had popped into the apartment to say hello, and so far its owners haven’t been found. 
Ian Taylor of Taylor Almond Property says: “Usually we find phone chargers, laptops and clothes left in our properties, never in 25 years have I had a snake issue”
The reptile is being cared for by Merseyside Reptile Rescue services until its owner is located. If you know who the owner could be please contact @tayloralmondproperty.
