Over the years, I’ve heard some pretty crazy stories about lots of different topics. From the fence company who installed the beautiful fence three feet into the neighbor’s yard to the handyman who earned an “A” in punctuality for showing up just in time to dial 911 and save the member’s life during a heart attack, the List is packed with stories. But, some of the most bizarre experiences I hear about have to do with wild animals.

We recently heard about a woman in Dallas who woke up one night to an awful banging noise. After searching the house, she discovered it was coming from her air conditioning unit outside. She immediately turned it off and in the morning, called an air conditioning company. When they came out, they discovered a large snake had climbed up onto the fan when the unit was off. When the air kicked on in the middle of the night… well, the snake didn’t fair well. Needless to say, there was not much they could do for the poor snake at that point.

Angie’s List is an animal-friendly company, and while we were sad to hear about the snake’s demise, we found the story and photos quite remarkable.
