PITTSBURGH, PA — It's unclear if they all were doing some holiday shopping and simultaneously felt the need to answer nature's call. But six Dekay's Brownsnakes recently were discovered in the wall of a men's restroom in a Target in Aliquippa, Beaver County.

It's unclear how they were found. But Humane Animal Rescue in Pittsburgh was called to the scene and retrieved the retailer-residing reptiles.

Humane Animal Rescue will house the harmless snakes over the winter before releasing them in time for mating season.
