Sandra Leos (@sandraleos22) posted a video on TikTok last week of her smiling sister named Erica holding a gopher snake and carrying it away from a party.
Several wedding guests laughed, recorded videos and took photos with their phones of Erica carrying the snake.
Erica, who wore a long dress and cowboy boots to the wedding, picked up the gopher snake while it was on the porch step.
Once Erica grabbed the snake, she immediately started walking away and yelled, “Come get the snake.”
Several people stared at the snake and one said the reptile was “crazy” while another said it “just wants to get out.”
Gopher snakes are actually non-venomous creatures that are often confused with rattlesnakes.
According to the National Park ServiceGopher snakes are “not aggressive or harmful to humans,” but they may hiss loudly or wag their tails when they feel threatened.
It’s unclear if the snake hissed, but it couldn’t move its tail as that’s how Erica picked up the creature.
The snake partially inflated its body, which is another thing the species does when it feels threatened by a human or predator.
An ideal habitat for a gopher snake is grasslands or wooded environments in the western US and they can be seen hunting in dense environments between fields.
Gopher snakes are ideally not the most common pets, but since they are not typically harmful to humans, they are an option for someone hoping to own a reptile.
Several TikTokers have praised Erica for her bravery and one person even called her a “guardian.”
Gopher snakes are non-venomous creatures that are often confused with rattlesnakes. They can be found in one of the western US states.
TikTok users have praised Erica for her bravery and have even referred to her as “a keeper.” It is unclear if she was the bride although commenters assumed she was.
‘Imagine a snake that looks like a rattlesnake but is nonvenomous and apparently likes to be around people. That’s the Gopher snake,” wrote one TikToker.
Leos also responded to some of the comments and made jokes about what the snake was doing at the wedding.
“He said: I heard there’s an open bar lol,” she wrote last week.
He also wrote that his little sister Erica “doesn’t give a shit” and that she is abnormal and not afraid of anything.
