Clerks at a post office in South
Africa fled for safety when they emptied a mail bag and a snake came slithering
out.
The one metre non-venomous
white python was one of four sent this week in an express parcel that arrived
at the Sabie Post Office, northeast of Johannesburg.
Sabie branch manager Mthobisi
Duba said the sorting room employees were out of the door as soon as the snake
hit the floor.
"This was the most
traumatic experience ever in the post office," Duba said in a statement.
An official from the local
parks board collected the white python and the three other smaller snakes still
in the parcel. The parks board is taking care of the reptiles.
The receiver of the parcel was
charged with the illegal transport of animals, South Africa's post service
said.
