Couple stunned after missing pet snake Mikey turns up SIX MONTHS later outside their old front door

A Stockport couple whose snake went missing in neighbouring Manchester were left gobsmacked after he was found SIX MONTHS later - completely unharmed.

Jasmine and Jo, who lived in Fallowfield until December 2021, originally adopted Mikey the corn snake, 16, from Jo’s parents just over a year ago.

The sneaky serpent slithered through a small hole at the back of some bathroom pipes after the couple tried to bathe him to ease his constipation in November 2021 - and, after, consulting local exotic pet shops, they sadly assumed they would never see him again.

Immediately he zoomed off around the bathroom.” Mikey then wrapped himself around some pipes behind the bathroom sink, where he wouldn’t budge. “We thought, 'it’s okay, he’ll have to come down at some point, we'll just wait until he relaxes a bit and then pop him back in the tank because he's a very strong boy'.
