Snake found at Calgary's Greyhound bus terminal

Snake found at Calgary's Greyhound bus terminal

A metre-long snake was found slithering around a storage locker at the Greyhound bus depot in Calgary.

The call came in to police at about 4:30 p.m. on Thursday. The snake was half in the locker and half out of it, police say.

Security guard Ahmed Yassin said the snake was found in a storage locker.

"I was really thinking … that I'm going to see a really a poisonous snake because people were kind of freaking out. But later I noticed that the snake was harmless and I just told the passengers to not freak out and not panic."

Officers say animal control will deal with the snake, which is no longer at the bus terminal.

The type of snake is unknown.
