A delivery driver in Louisiana decided against leaving a package on a home’s doorstep because a snake was slithering by the door.

The driver was afraid to knock because if the homeowner opened the door, the snake could slither right in.

He posted a photo of the snake on Facebook and captioned it, “Sorry, not knocking on your door. You’ll get the package tomorrow.” It turned out the snake was a King Snake and is harmlesss.

The driver said he will try to drop the package off again today.
