Footage has recently emerged online of a snake in Texas attempting to take bites out of passing cars as they nearly run it over in Austin, Texas.<br /><br />The serpent can be seen stationary a point in the road where drivers can turn right. <br /><br />Multiple vehicles take the turning and narrowly avoid flattening the reptile while it lunges at some cars.<br /><br />The filmer explained: "[It was recorded] outside my apartment complex. <br /><br />"Animal Control was called and came by later to (move it/help it) so it was not killed by any cars.<br /><br />"I did not know what species of snake it was or if it was poisonous but I kept a safe distance because of all the biting it was doing.<br /><br />"I stayed near it for about 10 mins to warn anyone who may not see it. I stopped 2 bike riders from going right over it and by stopping them I made one biker crash right into another. <br /><br />"[I] slowed a couple of cars down that were turning so they could possibly avoid it. <br /><br />"Some people did not care to slow down, although no one intentionally tried to run it over."<br /><br />The footage was captured on May 17.
