: "My fiance and I were going to feed animals at our neighbor's house. We noticed this corn snake stuck in the gate, exhausted from trying to escape. It must have slithered up the bottom of the gate, traveled through the pipes, and tried to exit through a bolt hole that was too small. My Fiance was able to gently free the snake by prying the metal away. The snake surprisingly did not have any cuts, and only some rough skin that looked like it’d shed right off. After the video ends the snake was released next to some water, hidden from predators to rest and recoup. We let nature take its course, and it was gone when we came back to check on it moments later. We were glad we could help free the animal and give it another chance at life. We did offer to replace the neighbor's gate."
