Thankfully I did bc to my surprise there was a SNAKE curled up inside the adjustment base!!!!!!" Aucoin wrote. "I couldn't believe it," Aucoin told WTVT-TV. "I barely saw it and the only reason I did was because I was making sure there were no crumbs/ants down in the base." Aucoin, who said the snake was believed to be a nonvenomous water snake, said the serpent was removed safely using a pair of tongs. "Lesson learned..." Aucoin posted. "I will never leave a car seat outside again."
