PASSENGERS stepping ashore
in Maine in the US might think
twice about where they tread,
after a 10-foot snakeskin was
found on the bank of the
Presumpscot River.
Residents of Westbrook,
Maine have reported sightings
of the snake which has been
affectionately named “Wessie”.
The snake has thus far
escaped police, who have
warned people who recreate
along the river to “remain
alert, maintain a safe distance
from any wildlife.”
Wessie has accumulated
a fanbase and now has a
Facebook and Twitter account.
Some residents are offering
up their place for Wessie to
take refuge on Facebook, but
have been knocked back with
response “It’ssssssss freedom
and the open trail for thissssss
ssssssnake!”
On Twitter, Wessie has
advised those searching to
“Make sure you all separate
and search individually”.
