A factory worker was left stunned after finding a venomous snake in a tomato delivery.

The sneaky reptile stowed away in a box of green tomatillos in Mexico.

It eventually made its way to a distribution centre in Ontario, Canada – 2,116 miles away.

According to the Toronto Wildlife Centre (TWC), a food terminal worker, named Troy, came face-to-face with

the snake after opening it up.

It was a northern cat-eyed snake, a mildly venomous snake found in North and Central America.

A video shows the orange and brown reptile sticking out its tongue at the cameraperson after being discovered inside the box.

A TWC spokesperson told Jam Press: “Troy, concerned for the displaced and no doubt distressed reptile, immediately called our Wildlife Hotline for help.

“The caring employee gently placed the snake into a box and brought him safely to TWC, which is a registered charity.

“Although the veterinary team confirmed the snake was in good health, he was still a long way from home.

“Our team is currently working on a plan to return this accidental traveller back to his native environment.”

The spokesperson added: “Until then, he’ll need continued care – including a temperature and humidity-controlled enclosure, fresh substrate, heat lamps, protein-packed food and more – to keep him healthy until his journey home.”

One local said: “Did you know that all foreign shipments of food to Canada are fumigated with very toxic gas?

“I’m glad this fellow survived.”

Pamela suggested: “Name it Troy.”
