The sssneaky stowaway has been rehomed with Beverly-based Rainforest Reptile Shows. The post Venomous snake found in Market Basket bananas in New Hampshire appeared first on Boston.com.

A Manchester Market Basket worker said he wasn't frightened when a snake was found in a box of bananas at the supermarket – he was excited.

The employee found a snake — later identified as an Ornate Cat-eyed Snake, which officials say is a mildly venomous snake species native to Ecuador, New Hampshire Fish and Game wrote in a Facebook post. New Hampshire Fish and Game conservation officer Griffin McKeown told WMUR-TV that a call reporting a venomous snake was a unique experience.
