A Pennsylvania woman received quite a surprise in a bag of potatoes she purchased from a local Walmart store. Bonnie Raygor said that what she thought was a bad potato turned out to be a live, 3 1/2-foot snake. Raygor purchased the potatoes a week ago, but didn't open the bag until she went to cook dinner on Thursday evening. "First I saw its underbelly, which is white. I thought I had a bad potato. Instead I had a snake," said Raygor. "The bag was sealed. The only thing that's in it are little holes. So I'm assuming it was in there when I bought it. I screamed." Raygor and her daughter-in-law put the snake inside a reptile enclosure she had from previous pets and then called Walmart. Upon calling the store she was told to bring the snake to the lawn and garden department where they wouldtake care of it. Unhappy with their response she called and spoke with a manager. "He said if I had a receipt, I could get a refund. And that was the extent," Raygor said. A spokesperson for Walmart told WTAE they were looking into the situation and are contacting the potato distributor, Irving Farms Marketing in Caribou, Maine. Raygor said she looked on the Internet and believes the snake is just a corn snake. Source: Article
