Don't mess with Texas snakes.

A woman in Liberty Eylau, Texas, burned down her home while trying to kill a snake by setting it on fire, KHOU reported.

"She saw the snake, threw gasoline on the snake, lit the snake on fire," Bowie County Sheriff's Deputy Randall Baggett told KSLA. "The snake went into the brush pile and the brush pile caught the home on fire."

The woman, whose home was located on Will Smith Road, can be heard on a 911 recording explaining what happened, according to OKCFox.

"We were trying to kill a snake with fire… It done caught the house--"

"Caught the house?" the dispatcher interjects.

"Yes, the house is on fire. Could you hurry up please?"

Her neighbor's home was also damaged by the blaze.

If you try to kill a snake by pouring gasoline on it and lighting it on fire, you might be a redneck!!! And stupid too!!

This lady is an ASS! She should have cornered the snake, trapped it, and then call animal control. Dumba$$ deserves her home to go up in flames for being so stupid.

Why she didn't call animal control is beyond me, but that's what a rational-thinking person would do.

Everybody knows you're supposed to light a spider on fire, not a snake!

That lady is a major moron.

Wouldn't that be considered overkill?

Gross, reminds me of an episode of Little House On the Prairie when Mr. Edwards shot a snake and cooked it for dinner. He served it to Laura Ingalls and her sisters. Yuck!

It must be tough being a snake,crawling around with no arms or legs,getting run over by cars,having crazy bitches trying to set you on fire.

catlover79 · 03-26-2013, 12:23 AM

At least this didn't happen in Florida.

She must have been so darn scared. She sure took drastic measures.
