A huge kingsnake was caught trying to take a nap in a woman’s bed after she discovered it hiding under the covers.

The yellow Californian Kingsnake was found on September 8 before being taken to a garda station.

Officers handed the reptile over to Shauna’s Pet Shop on Capel Street in an attempt to find its owners, reports DublinLive.

Shauna’s Pet Shop wrote on Facebook: “We are hoping to reunite this lovely Kingsnake with their owner, he was found in an unsuspecting individual’s bed in Dublin 8 this afternoon!

“He’s had a busy day after trying to have a kip in someone’s bed to only find himself in a Garda station a short while later (he didn’t mean to trespass…) he is now safe with us. Shake out your bedsheets tonight folks…
