May 29 (UPI) -- Firefighters in Michigan came to the rescue of a pet snake that slithered through the handle of a miniature teacup and became stuck.

The Lansing Fire Department said in a Facebook post that a mother and daughter visited Station 6 with their pet snake, which was in an unusual predicament.

"This young lady was having a tea party when her pet snake decided to join in, only to find itself stuck in the cup," the post said.

Photos accompanying the post show a firefighter cutting through the teacup handle to free the curious serpent.

"The young lady was then able to continue her tea party," the post said.
