STAFF at Logan’s Containers for Change got a shock when this slithery stowaway was located in a soft drink can donated for recycling.

This soft drink can was heavier than others donated for recycling, but one worker noticed something peculiar about its contents.

While sorting through cans on Friday, one of the workers noticed one was heavier than the rest and there were peculiar scales inside the can.

Upon further inspection, a small common tree snake was found curled up inside.

A snake catcher was called to remove the reptile from the centre.

Warmer weather causes snakes to become more active but during cooler months in winter they become less active.

Sightings often increase during September due to the increase in temperatures and the start of the breeding season for snakes.
