Snake Survives Wash Cycle In Washing Machine Smelling Like ‘Downy’ Fabric Softener

A snake will be throwing a huge survival party after it crept into a washing machine which the owner suddenly turned on to wash some clothes. The snake began the dangerous cycle with the clothes but was saved after it peeked out its head from the clothes after the machine had been put off.

The escaped pet snake that apparently slithered into a suburban Chicago family’s washing machine ended up smelling like fabric softener after going through the wash.

Sanela Kamencic tells WMAQ-TV she was “totally creeped out” when the snake turned up Wednesday in the washing machine in Evanston.

Police Officer Pedro Carrasco and Animal Control Warden Jason Pound brought the reptile to the Chicago Exotics Animal Hospital. Carrasco says it was “peeking its head out of the washing machine” when they found it.” Pound says it “smelled like Downy” after surviving the wash cycle.

Veterinarian Melissa Giese tells radio station WBBM the snake was “in pretty good shape” and “really feisty.”

The animal hospital says the corn snake, named Penelope, belonged to a 12-year-old boy who lives nearby. They were reunited afterward.
