Family's horrifying discovery next to frozen pizza in oven
A family has made a “queasy” find in their oven after trying to cook a pizza.
The Helms family, who live in the US state of North Carolina, were preparing a pizza on Monday night, CNN affiliate WRAL reports. However, after heating the oven and popping a pizza in they noticed smoke billowing from the oven.
Mum Amber Helm told her sons, 3 and 1, to “back up” while she checked the oven.
"I looked closely and was like 'Oh my God! That's a friggin' snake’,” she told WRAL.
Ms Helm got her kids out of the house and took them to a restaurant while her husband Robert stayed behind to remove the snake from the oven.
"I was queasy and it was creepy," Mr Helm told WRAL.
"There's nothing good about finding a smokey snake in your oven."
The family said they never store anything in the oven while it’s turned off so they can’t figure out how the poor serpent got inside.
