Snake in the mattress!
This defines the meaning of “stealth” as a snake goes undetected inside a crib’s mattress, disturbing the baby sleeping inside it. Thankfully, the baby wasn’t harmed. But the parents are planning on suing the mattress manufacturer.
Isabella and her mother, Cari Abatemarco, who live in upstate Troy, were spending the night at Abatemarco’s parents’ Brentwood home last week when Isabella’s cries woke her mother. Abatemarco said she responded and found the snake, which family members said was 4 feet long, wrapped around Isabella’s leg. Isabella was unharmed. Islip animal control officers earlier had said it was a foot long.
The family, which says it bought the mattress at a Bay Shore Toys R Us, claims the snake got into the mattress package through a rip in its plastic wrap, Gunn said. The snake then embedded itself in the mattress by crawling inside a cloth covering that is loosely stitched to the mattress, he said.
