The snake was described as approximately four feet in length, about four inches in diameter and black with diamond like patterns on its head. It was reported as being aggressive at times and would flatten its head out when approached. Although the type of snake is unknown at this time residents believe it might be an escaped pet — possibly a puff adder. If anyone sees this snake or has any information about it, call Huron OPP.
