Seeking Help

When the animal rescuers were done with all they could do and gave up, the family had to seek some other source of help before the snake came down and started to make each one them it’s prey. Linda, without wasting any more time, posted the whole story on Facebook to seek some help from her followers. Would she be able to succeed in her plan or would this attempt go in vain like the others?

A Ray Of Hope

The Facebook post that Linda had written caught the eye of one of her friends and she contacted Linda as soon as she read the post. The friend told Linda about one of her friends who was an expert with exotic animals and had a particular interest in snakes. Linda’s eyes shone with hope and she took the number of the man readily.

Calling Him Up

Linda, without wasting any more time called Mark Lampart, the man who her friend had suggested. Luckily he was in the town and agreed to help the terrified family. Mark Lampart was known daredevil and his girlfriend too took part in his adventures every time and had always supported him. And this was another good opportunity for both of them.

Mission Starts

Soon they reached their house and started planning how to take the snake down as the animal rescuers had tried it twice to pull down the snake but were unable to do that with equipment. The family feared how Mark would manage to do it without any help other than his girlfriend. Would he be able to take the serpent down?

The Hustle

He went on to remove a couple of old slats and place it down so that he could put his a PVC pipe in the hole and bring it out. But all his attempts seemed to go in vain as the snake got on the PVC pipe and didn’t move as stated by Bob. Bob also talked about its length in an interview and said: “It took three and a half minutes for that snake to move into that rafter space…it was bigger than I expected,”.

Discoveries

Several futile hours went by and still, there was no trace of the serpent. He could only catch his rusted snakeskin which indicated that he had been residing in the attic for quite a long time estimated to be 3-4 years! Bob Van der Herchen recalled.“When he pulled that snakeskin out, I said, ‘That’s a sign he must have been there for quite a while,’”
