A venomous snake is now at an animal rescue service after being found in a shipment of bananas at a grocery store in New Hampshire.

WMUR reports New Hampshire Fish and Game was sent to the Manchester Market Basket Saturday after an employee called about a snake found inside a box of bananas.

Wardens say the snake was a two-foot-long “ornate cat-eyed”, which is a mildly venomous species that is native to central and South America.

The snake was not hurt and is currently being housed at Rainforest Reptile Shows Inc.

According to Rainforest Reptile, the Cat-eyed Snake is a specialized species from Panama, Ecuador, and Colombia that primarily feeds on amphibians and lizards. As a nocturnal species, its care requires extra expertise and attention. The animal service says the snake is currently in a temporary habitat.
