10ft snake caught in posh flats

A 10ft boa constrictor has been captured after popping up in the loos of a posh block of flats in Manchester.

The snake had terrified tenants since it was first spotted in a toilet last week, reports the Mirror.

It's believed to have been living in sewage pipes for three months after being abandoned by an evicted tenant three months ago.

People had to put bricks on their loo seats to stop the snake, which has been named Keith, slipping into their bathrooms.

Firemen were called in to try to track him down in the pipework but a brave resident of the West Didsbury flats finally trapped him in a bucket.

Keith is now in the care of the RSPCA.

Spokesman Jimmy Ratcliff, an expert on exotic animals, said: "They can swim very well and can hold their breath for more than 20 minutes - though what is out of the ordinary is the size of this snake.

"It has probably been eating rats in the sewer, where it appears to have been living quite happily."
