Mum thought 'huge' snake in bathroom was a kids' toy

A mum was left shocked after she discovered a ‘huge’ snake in her bathroom when she was putting her kids to bed.

Kayleigh Ball, 33, was alerted by her children who spotted a brown and white snake in the middle of her bathroom floor at 7pm on Monday, March 7.

Kayleigh said she feels "on edge" after finding the snake and she will have trouble sleeping until it is gone.

She said: "I'm going to have to call the council on Tuesday. My palms will be
