Cari Abatemarco says she found a California King Snake curled around her 7-month-old daughter’s leg as she lay in her crib. Abatemarco said she was visiting family in Long Island, New York when her daughter woke up crying in the middle of the night. When Abatemarco lifted her daughter from the crib, the snake fell off.
“Once I lifted her up and the snake fell off of her, she stopped crying,” she says.
Abatemarco adds that her uncle put the 1-foot-long snake into a bucket to wait for animal control.
The California King Snake is non-venomous and commonly kept as a pet. It is a constrictor.
