Doorbell Camera Captures The Terrifying Snake Attack

1343

A doorbell camera captured the moment a snake attacked a man in a video that will make your skin crawl, says an article published in CNN.

Where was the snake?

Jerel Heywood was visiting Rodney Copeland’s home on Sunday in Lawton, Oklahoma when the attack occurred.

The snake was wrapped around a porch light, Copeland said.

As Heywood opened the screen door, the snake popped into the corner of the camera and bit into Heywood’s head before retreating.

Victim rushed to hospital

Heywood’s first thought? “I got bit by a snake. Didn’t know what kind it was,” he said. “Have to get to the hospital.”

Copeland and his wife brought Heywood to the hospital, where he was treated immediately.

It was a non venomous snake

“I was in shock,” Copeland said. “That could’ve been anyone of us.”

Heywood said the snake was not venomous and he is OK. “No stitches, thankfully, but they cleaned me up pretty good,” Heywood said. “I am on antibiotics.”

Pummeled the snake to death

The cries of Copeland’s wife  along with Heywood attracted their neighbor, who brought over a hammer, Copeland said.

He knocked the snake off the light and pummeled him to death. Copeland said it was the first time he found a snake in his home.
