In the video, as captured by doorbell camera, Jerel Heywood is seen wincing in pain and screams for help while clutching his face after getting bitten by a snake before retreating.
According to CNN, Copeland's wife started screaming along with Heywood, Copeland said. Their cries attracted their neighbor, who brought over a hammer, Copeland said. He knocked the snake off the light and pummeled him to death. Copeland said it was the first time he found a snake in his home. He imagines the 5-foot-5-incher was taking refuge from recent heavy rains. He hopes to keep away any potential lurkers by spraying the yard with sulfuric acid. "I hear they don't like that," he said.
