A snake belonging to 15-year-old Ashley Smallwood was given up for lost when it escaped and was not seen for two months.
Ashley, of Sandgate Road in Brighton, was relieved when it turned up at his nan's home two doors away.
Shirley Gardiner, who's terrified of snakes, was not pleased but at least the slippery serpent had decided to stay in the family.
