A snake was among list of bizarre things that British students leave behind in rooms

Pets were among the most unusual items left behind, as well as the rabbit, Unite found a pair of budgies, and a six foot snake.

One person left frozen chicken feet.

The most common items left behind were mobile phone chargers (24 per cent), while almost one in five (19 per cent) of the items found were text books and one in ten (11 per cent) were iPods.

The 10 most bizarre items:

:: Six foot snake;

:: Pair of budgies;

:: Giant white pet rabbit;

:: 10ft inflatable outdoor pool filled with water;

:: Frozen chicken feet;

Unite, which has properties in 23 UK cities and towns said it tries to reunite students with their belongings. Unclaimed items are donated to charity or recycled and all pets are found a good home.
