A firefighter with a lifelong fear of snakes was called to a home in England to free a 6-foot boa constrictor trapped behind a heating radiator.

Owner Nicola Bewer of Torquay in Devon County said she called emergency services after the snake -- named Chaos -- became stuck, the BBC reported.
Snake-fearing Watch Commander Alan Gilson led the rescue effort, the British network said.
It took about 40 minutes to release Chaos unharmed.
"I do not like snakes, they are one of my childhood fears," Gilson said. "I did get my hands on the snake as I thought it was a good opportunity, but the experience has absolutely not cured my fear."
