A WOMAN with a phobia of snakes was horrified to open her barbecue and find one curled up inside.
Sheila Rogers, 62, was confronted by a 2ft long corn snake.
Mrs Rogers, who suffers from a fear of snakes (ophidiophobia) ran inside her bungalow in Shurdington, near Cheltenham, and called police.
They took three hours to arrive, by which time she and neighbour Jack Jewitt, in his 80s, had resorted to cornering the snake with a washing basket.
