Goodbye sleep, I’ll miss you
I’m going to show that video to my cats.
Didn’t we learn way back in Jurassic Park that handles instead of round doorknobs are a bad idea? Opposable thumbs are our best defense against snakes and velociraptors.

When the parents of a toddler neglected to change the door handles in their home it sealed the fate of…
Good tip on the doorknobs. When I visited, my niece warned me to lock the bathroom door because the dog knew how to open doors with door handles. She’s a friendly dog, but I appreciated the warning.
It doesn’t fit with the topic, but I just want to say that she was brought home as an adorable little black lab mix puppy. Then the mix part turned out to be mastiff. She’s a BIG puppy.
Also, nice username/post combo.
Cats, too. Cats love doors with handles instead of doorknobs, because cats absolutely cannot stand the idea of a closed door.
A friend of mine is a zookeeper, and she used to raise exotic snakes to sell or donate to other zoos. These weren’t the typical breeds idiots let get too big and end up needing a home at a zoo, but endangered breeds. I like snakes, but her snake room gave me the heebiejeebies, OMG! She’d know it was time to re-home them when they started eyeing her cats.
Her doors had all kinds of security, but she’ll get a kick out of this video. 
I remember when her freezer died and she had all these thawed rats…::hurl::
My Horton flings himself right at the doorknob when he wants to get into a room. He knows. That’s why I will always have the roundest of doorknobs in my home.
Keeping the doors locked? Someday those muthas are gonna figure out how to work the locks.
All portals should be set to shred anything going through them unless you key in a 8 digit code. This applies to toilets too. No snake is going through my toilet alive. Did I mention that I hate snakes and they all should be killed by a genetically modified virus making them extinct.
I really thought the video was kind of cute. Especially when it just flops down once the door opens. (Although that did remind me a bit of the stereotypical “body in a closet” from old movies.)
Don’t be too harsh on the snake, he’s only evangelising door to door for Our Lord Voldemort .
Doorknobs, handles…bah, they are powerless before the Force of the Feline.
Back in college, I knew a guy with a pet python* that opened doors with round knobs. He’d pull himself up along the door and hook himself over the knob, then clench down on it and sort of dive off the other side. His weight was just enough to rotate the knob as he rolled off of it. He wasn’t nearly as big as the snake in the story.
*Inevitably, he was named Monty. The snake, that is, not the guy.
i’m not usually a “won’t someone think of the children” type, but was anyone else kind of horrified that they have that thing in a home with small children, and apparently let the kids play with it? that motherfucker could squeeze an adult to death, for god’s sake. i admit though, i do not understand the appeal of pet snakes at all.
My black lab (because goddamnit that is a fucking pet, not a gigantic fucking door-opening snake) hasn’t completely mastered the round door knob, but she has gotten fairly good at sometimes spinning the little thing on the door knob to lock the door.
As we learned when she locked us out of the house. In the cold. And rain. at night.
Accidentally of course, she was just jumping on the door, and happened to “claw down” on that little locking thing and spin it. Fucking bitch. 
It’s the dog days of summer, so it’s time for this year’s batch of eldritch horror/maybe this is the year Cthulhu wakes up stories. This one is a good start.
