Rachel Dunbar, who found the snake in her kitchen, initially took to social media to try and find out what type of snake she found in her home. She posted in a message in the Banburyshire Info community group's page on Facebook asking for help.

She told the Banbury Guardian: "It was scary. It took me ages to get the courage to put it in a tub. I used my bbq tongs."

The snake was later collected by a friend, who used to work with reptiles. He released what was believed to be a grass snake back into a nearby field.
