Calling A Vet
Someone eventually mentioned that this was one of those situations that was out of their hands. Their best bet was to call a snake removal service or someone who specialized in snakes and find out what was going on with this peculiar case.
Having all agreed to that decision, they waited as one informed a supervisor about the development. The supervisor made a few calls and got the number of the nearest snake specialist he could find. The responses he got from the specialist made him almost drop his mobile in shock.
