A horrified boy from Australia found a baby snake still alive in a bag of lettuce that he bought from Aldi.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Posted online by his mother, the incredible pictures show the pale-headed reptile hidden away in a packet that they bought from their local supermarket in Mosman, Sydney.<\/p>\n


\n<\/p>\n

Shocked by the discovery, the woman then quickly called local wildlife experts (known as Wires) to retrieve the unexpected guest.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Lesley Kuhn, who posted the photos online, warned others to be vigilant when purchasing packaged lettuce from stores.<\/p>\n

She wrote: \u201cCheck packaged lettuces carefully. Last night my son found a baby pale-headed snake in with his baby cos lettuce from Aldi.\u201d<\/p>\n

In response, Aldi Australia said it was investigating how the snake found its way into the product.<\/p>\n

A spokesman said: "We've worked with the customer and the team at Wires to identify the snake's natural habitat, which is certainly not an Aldi store.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are now working closely with our produce supplier to investigate how this incident could have possibly occurred."<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

After the images were shared, users flocked to voice their comments with many just as shocked and confused by the \u201cbizzare\u201d incident.<\/p>\n

'Yikes!,' wrote one.<\/p>\n

'Oh my lordie!,' another commented.<\/p>\n

Some people also called it an "awful" and "nasty" find.<\/p>\n

Others, however, saw the funny side, making jokes that the snake had given them a good excuse never to eat salad again.<\/p>\n

"Like I needed another reason to loathe salad," one wrote.<\/p>\n

The mother responded to these comments on social media, revealing that the snake was "very much alive." \u00a0<\/p>\n

Although admitting that her son "hadn't realised how dangerous it was," she concluded that that her son was thankfully okay. \u00a0<\/p>\n

The Sun Online has contacted Aldi Australia for comment.<\/p>\n
