“The seller was also very scared,” he recalls.

Neville reportedly received a compensation offer from Aldi, although he was not happy with the amount offered.

“It’s just not enough,” he said. “The consequences for us if the animal ended up in our home would be enormous. Plus, I have a phobia of snakes, so there’s also the emotional impact of this situation.”
