Generally, people get a fridge magnet or a keychain as a souvenir to remember their trip. But flier, Moira Boxall, a resident of Scottland will never forget her recent trip to Australia. Credit goes to the live souvenir that she got from the land of the wild.
Boxall, as she returned to her home town discovered a snake tucked away in her shoe on attempting to unpack her luggage from Australia.
The snake took a trip of over 9,300 miles from Mackay to Glasgow comfortably tucked in her luggage. Boxal found that the reptile had even shed its skin in her slip-ons.
Later the reptile was identified as a non-venomous spotted python, that is generally kept as a pet.
Moira Boxall's son-in-law, Paul Airlie in an interview to ABC news said that initially at discovering the reptile, she thought that it was a toy and was put in her shoe as a prank.
Boxall, keeping a calm mind, put the shoe in her garden with a box on top of it and called Paul Airlie who further called Scottish SPCA (Scottish Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals).
He told, "She said she's not so keen to come back and visit. But I suspect she will - she'll have to think about it at first."
The snake that was removed from Boxwall's property has now been shifted to Scottish SPCA's animal rescue and rehoming centre which is located in Edinburgh.
