Woman Finds A Snake Who Made Home In Her Screen Door And Instead Of Chasing It Away - They Become Friends
Snickers the snake did not exactly arrive with fanfare, but he did manage to make himself at home in a very unusual place. When Melisa Taylor noticed him stuck in a hole in her screen door, she helped him out, expecting that would be the end of it.
Instead, the snake came back, and Taylor decided to treat him less like a pest and more like an unexpected neighbor. What started as a rescue turned into a tiny backyard friendship, complete with signs, jokes, and a lot of curiosity from everyone who sees him.
Now Snickers has a name, a place to stay, and a story that keeps getting stranger.

And the snake was free
Taylor doesn't see Snickers on a daily basis, but when she does, she is always overjoyed to see him. Even if she doesn't see him, she enjoys knowing that he is around. He's now regarded as an important part of the family.
“It scares the venomous snakes away from my yard, and I am thankful for him,” Taylor concluded.
But the snake actually liked it there
Several signs now hang over Snickers' house. They're meant to be goofy and enjoyable, and everyone who's seen them has found them to be so.
“Most of them laugh or think it's cute and wholesome,” Taylor said. “I've been thanked a lot for rescuing him from the tiny hole.”

And now it calls it home
The snake's name is Snickers
People around the world have different beliefs about snakes in homes, and those beliefs can vary even from one city to another within the same state or country.
That probably depends on the folklore and living conditions in the area. For instance, even though the snake is often detested in Christianity (because of the whole apple thing), it is not universally hated among the people.
Even though it doesn’t look friendly, and not many people want to hang out with them, there is the concept of a “house snake” or “a snake under the doorstep.” A snake that comes to your home and exterminates rodents is a hero, not your enemy.
That snake is to be looked after, not chased away. It’s a blessing.
The enemy of my enemy is my friend. And we have to admit, throughout history, people have always had more trouble with rodents than with snakes.
So, even though people fear snakes, they need them-just like doctors.
Speaking of which, snakes wouldn't be a symbol of medicine if they were so bad, right?
