Jaw-Dropping: Gigantic Snake Spotted in East Texas Recently

Wow, did you see that gigantic snake video that was posted in the East Texas social media group a couple days ago? The video was captured by Josh ManShack and he did mention in the video that his house is located on Woodlands Drive in Lindale. 

I’m not sure if I have ever seen a snake this large outside of the zoo. I will admit as someone who doesn’t like snakes very much, I'm certain I wouldn’t have known what to do.  

The Post Online Was Warning Others in Lindale 

When the post about the large snake went up a few days ago, it was just about warning others living around Woodlands Drive. Just warning others that it might be best to keep cats, small dogs, and kids inside. It was a thoughtful post but as you would expect, everyone had a reaction to the snake, resulting in over 600 comments and 600+ shares. 

Lindale Residents Were Wondering if They Need to Sell Their Homes 

There were multiple residents that were wondering if the snake was killed as they were nervous about it. In the end, the snake was eliminated. Many comments online made it seem like this could have been someone’s pet, although I cannot confirm that information. 

Residents Split on Loving or Hating Snakes 

Many residents were happy to know the snake is no longer slithering around. Although others were mad that this snake was killed as it was a helpful, rat snake.  

What would you do in this situation? Let us know in the comment section.
