Snake surprise...

...as reptile slithers across windscreen!

My Worst Fear
Two men got a nasty surprise as they were driving their van - when a massive white snake slithered across their windscreen.The 4-foot-long albino reptile emerged from the bonnet of James Denton and Morne Aspeling's van as they drove back to their office.
The pair, telephone engineers from Jersey, pulled over and beat a hasty retreat from the vehicle. It took me a moment to realise it was real,' said Denton. 'When its tongue flicked out, we both made a pretty sharp exit from the van.'
They called for help, and the snake was captured and taken to an animal shelter where it is being looked after.
The snake is thought to have been either a corn snake or a milk snake - both non-venomous species - which may have crawled into the van's bonnet for warmth, but been startled when the engine was started.
It's believed that it was probably an escaped pet - and the shelter are trying to reunite it with its former owner.
Here's the little rascal at work:Ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww!!
