Venomous snake slithers out of family's Christmas tree
A British family recieved the shock of their lives when a venomous snake slithered out of their Christmas tree moments after they had finished decorating it.
Rob and Marcela Wild, who moved to South Africa from Borehamwood, Hertfordshire 15-years-ago, were admiring their festive fir with children Edward and Sahara when the venomous boomslang appeared from behind a bauble.
The snake is seen suspending itself out of the tree before settling amongst the lights and tinsel.
Boomslang snakes are drop-by-drop the most poisonous snake in South Africa.
