VIRAL | Deadly snake nearly killed a man dangling on entrance door- WATCH

A user recounts a heart-pounding encounter with a snake captured on a front door camera in a spine-tingling video that has gone viral on social media. Nobody wants to be taken by surprise by a snake, especially when your goal is simply to enter your home. 

In a footage circulated on Twitter, a guy is seen attempting to enter his home only to run into a snake that is hiding on the front door. He swiftly retreats from the door, though, and is able to get away. "Frame by frame," is the caption for the hair-raising video. “That was extremely close. This snake, what kind is it? The head appears to be poisonous.”

More than 4000 people have seen the snake attack video since it was posted on Twitter. "It's a rat snake", a user said. "It's usually a rat snake if you're wondering how it got there. It's very amazing to observe how they scale masonry walls." Another user commented, "Amazing black rat snake. Although they are not poisonous, if they bit you, their sharp fangs might sever your flesh. Because their teeth are so keen, the pain isn't too great, but you should thoroughly clean the bite because their mouth is full of harmful materials. I adore reptiles! I keep rattlers as pets."
