BGUK_3322308 - Sam Blackburn from Stockton has been unexpectedly reunited with his childhood pet, Sidney the corn snake, more than two decades after the reptile vanished. While renovating his mum’s kitchen floor, Sam discovered the remarkably preserved remains of Sidney hidden in a skirting board. The discovery has provided a sense of closure for Sam, who had been heartbroken when Sidney escaped as a child, and he now plans to keep the remains as a memento.
