London Chip Shop Python Panic Ends With Juvenile Corn Snake Twist

London python drama erupts at a Greenwich fish and chip shop, only for RSPCA rescuers to discover a 12-inch corn snake dropped in from an upstairs apartment. Trending searches: “difference between python and corn snake,” “how do snakes escape homes.” RSPCA warns: “Warm weather makes snakes extra adventurous—lock your vivariums.”
After Greenwich’s 12-inch snake swap, shop staff questioned why summer turns London’s reptiles into Houdinis. Animal rescue calls spike every July, with Google trends for “what to do if you find a snake in your shop” and “are corn snakes dangerous in the UK” both surging. Picture a chip fryer showdown interrupted by a stripy, noodle-sized escape artist.
The RSPCA reports London’s summer heat boosts snake escapology, with more than 30 pet snakes slithering into local businesses every July—each one a surprise guest at lunch rush.
