'Unwanted hitchhiker' found in grocery store's banana shipment 'a first' for conservation agency
Fox News
A mildly venomous ornate cat-eyed snake was reportedly found Saturday in a shipment of bananas at the Market Basket grocery store in Manchester, New Hampshire.
Kyle Schmidbauer is a production assistant for Fox News Digital. A graduate of Montclair State University in New Jersey, he joined Fox in 2022.
The slithering stowaway was determined to be an ornate cat-eyed snake, a mildly venomous reptile native to Ecuador, which is one of the largest exporters of bananas to the U.S.
Conservation officer Griffin McKeown told WMUR that in responding to the incident, he spoke with an employee who "seemed to be pretty familiar with snakes."
