A woman stumbled upon a snake while shopping at a Target store

Target Corp. Reported A 4 percent increase in second-quarter profits

This isn’t something you expect to find at Target. A woman was shopping at a Target store in Apex, North Carolina recently when she saw a black rat snake on a shelf while she looked for a can of baked beans. Experts say the type of snake she saw is harmless, and Target says the reptile may have found its way inside on a cart or by some other mode of transportation. The woman who saw the snake says she initially thought it was a toy and was being pranked, but when she tried to take a photo of the snake it flicked its tongue and she called for help. Target employees were able to get the snake out safely and release it back into the wild. A Target spokesperson told local media the area where the snake was found was immediately disinfected, and they also plan to bring in a pest control company to do a sweep of the store.
