When a Kentucky woman hung a wreath of joy in front of her, she probably hoped it would bring some joy to her and her neighbors. What he didn't expect was that the decoration on his door would be dangerous and cause a snake bite. WRAL reports that Kenley Thomas was returning home when he saw a 3-foot-tall snake. The crawling animal was sitting in the doorway hanging on Thomas's door. When her mother came running, she immediately started screaming. Her mother, Mary Joe Thomas, told News Outlet that she cut off what she saw before registering.
Thomas went to the hospital as a precaution because the type of snake was not known. Fortunately, however, Thomas is unlikely to be bitten by a venomous snake in this part of Kentucky. It was not the first snake the family had seen on their property. Although it will be the last at this point because Thomas will no longer put any decoration on his front door - a snake bite was quite dangerous!
