The snake hunt did not end until months later: A 76-year-old from Bad Aibling could not get rid of the reptile that had nested with her for a long time.

Bad Aibling - Angelika Güngerich's little kitchen rustled. The 76-year-old from Bad Aibling (Rosenheim district) initially thought of mice, but when she saw something black lying on the corner bench, curled up in a circle, but estimated a meter long, she knew: “I have a snake in the house!” Snake was also startled, dropped to the ground and was no longer in sight. A search for the reptile began last winter and only ended months later.

Previously, the snake expert Andreas Paukert had been called into the apartment several times to catch the animal.

Noises came from around the sink.

“Because it's warm there,” Paukert knows, snakes like that.

But even he had to give in.

And Angelika Güngerich did not want anything to happen to the animal, so no traps, she wanted to solve the problem in a good way and so only more energy-consuming methods remained: Her son completely dismantled the kitchen, but the snake remained hidden, probably in one Gap behind the sink.

The pensioner also tried to lure the grass snake outside with a bowl of milk, apparently this succeeded, the milk was less, but the animal could not be found any further.

Angelika Güngerich was prophesied: “When spring is here, she goes out”

What remained was the rustling in the night and the tip from the Munich reptile sanctuary to just wait for warmer times.

Angelika Güngerich was prophesied: “When spring is here, she goes out”.

It acted accordingly: When the first warm days of more than 20 degrees set in, they always left the kitchen and terrace doors open and closed all the others.

And suddenly there was silence in the kitchen and it stayed that way.

As soon as the grass snake came into the house, it left it again.

“I can't say how happy I am,” says the pensioner from Bad Aibling.

"That was a bad feeling that you always have it."
