Police in Upper Macungie Township, Pennsylvania said an officer shot a man's pet snake after it wrapped itself around his neck and would not let go.
Police said they asked the dispatcher to repeat the call because it was so unusual. Nickischer said the snake did not die right away.
"It wasn't like it just died. It started to slither away, luckily away from the officers, away from the direction that they were trying to pull this gentleman." Lt. Nickischer said. "They realized it was a matter of life and death with seconds to make that decision. Praise the officers. They did what they had to do. It was a safe shoot."

Guessing that should be a MALE snake, not an email snake?
I never understood why anyone would want a snake for a pet.
This is why I have Esnake protection for only $28 a year.
Any snake is a big snake.
Snakes…..alligators…..Great White Sharks…..Killer Whales…..
They make great pets.
You can teach them lots of tricks.
Like how to eat people.
“Any snake is a big snake.”
... so I took what I could get?
EMAIL SNAKE?
I’m never opening another email as long as I live!
I remember when police would shoot your dog, not your snake.
Why did they have to kill it? Couldn’t they have just shot the snake in the leg?
They’re clean in comparison to other types of pets but yeah not my cup of oolong.
So Grandpa, what's the strangest thing thing you experienced during your years as a cop?
You aint seen nothing yet
Trouser snake?
Frank. there is something dead and rotten in the crawl space.
I can’t find out how the guy is doing. Unconscious long enough for someone to call cops and they get there, assess the situation, and shoot the snake... not good.
What a mouth breathing dumb to let a snake get in that position.
Wonder what would have happened if they tazered the thing?
Electric snake
She had a snake for a pet
And an amulet
And she was breeding a dwarf
But she wasn’t done yet
She had gray-green skin
A doll with a pin
I told her she was awright
But I couldnt come in
(I couldnt come in right then...)
