How come nobody seen

You are probably asking yourself the same question I did. How come nobody seen this snake slither around the neighborhood before now?

Are there any mistakes?
Thanks

  • 'Slithering' would be better than 'slither', as the continuous suggests 'seen in the act of slithering', which is probably the intended meaning.

Thank you, Clive. Yes, slithering does sound better to me too.
