A Kansas man says he didn’t know what initially caused his Ring doorbell to send him an alert Monday night.

“Not what I expected, it’s a rat snake just hanging out.”

Those are awesome snakes to have around. Hope they just relocated it.

I don't care if it's not dangerous to humans I would've deposited his head and his body into a nearby lake. Separately.

A lonely woman, aged 70, decided that it was time to get married. She put an ad in the local paper that read:

HUSBAND WANTED! MUST BE IN MY AGE GROUP (70's), MUST NOT BEAT ME, MUST NOT RUN AROUND ON ME, AND MUST STILL BE GOOD IN BED! ALL APPLICANTS PLEASE APPLY IN PERSON.

On the second day she heard the doorbell. Much to her dismay, she opened the door to see a gray-haired gentleman with no arms or legs sitting in a wheelchair.

The old woman said, "You're not really asking me to consider you, are you? Just look at you... you have no legs!" The old man smiled, "Therefore I can not run around on you!"

She snorted. "You don't have any hands either!"

Again the old man smiled, "Nor can I beat you!"

She raised an eyebrow and gazed intently. "Are you still good in bed?" With that, the old gentleman leaned back, beamed a big broad smile and said, "I rang the doorbell, didn't I?"

Not a fan of rat snakes that decide to climb my house. Stay outside. Kill the rodents but enter my domain and we have some serious issues because when they climb, they end up in the attic

I had a 6 foot that would crawl across and up windows themselves.

If I had a good phone a few years ago I would have a video to freak ya out.

Noticed what I thought was a wasp hovering around the far bottom corner of West facing window next to the front door. Had that shadow thing going on of up/down slightly side-side. Noticed it remained longer than usual wasp though, then it disappeared. Few minutes later it was back. Started thinking it was probably dirt dauber building a nest and I'd get it after the show on TV was over.

Last commercial break before the conclusion of show I was watching I got up to open blinds and take a peek. 4-5 foot black snake looking back at me.

The "hovering wasp" turned out to be the snake sticking his tongue out and looking around.Late afternoon sun cast the shadow magnifying the size.

He didn't flinch when I tapped the window several times right next to his head. Since he wasn't a viper I decided to let him be. He eventually went diagonally across to the top of window and then back to curl around the outdoor light mounted about 7 feet high on the bricks between window and door.
