Snake incorrectly for stick shocks Maryland Beachgoers

A woman’s beach trip went viral after she documented a huge snake that slides on Ocean City, MD., Beaches.

Roxanne Flanagan published a video on Facebook On Saturday, April 26 by an eastern Hogno’s snake that pops up from the Atlantic.

Flanagan told us Wmar That she and her co -workers, Tiffany Redman, took their children to Ocean City for Springfest. But while she was on the Maryland beach, Flanagan’s 7-year-old daughter screamed that she saw a snake near the fishing bridge, north of the Ocean City Inlet.

“I told her, it’s probably just a stick, but I went ahead and it was moving,” Flanagan reminded. She then told her children to move back and give the reptile space.

“It probably hit for a few good minutes,” Flanagan said, noting that the snake was also pressed by the waves as it slid over the sand.

“At first I thought they saw a shark,” Redman told CBS news. “But I never expected them to see a snake.”

Although the snake “chased people,” Redman said it was the highlight of the children’s weekend safely.

“My daughter, divinity, I hope it doesn’t scare her to go back to Ocean City because I would like them to enjoy the sand and build sand castles, so hopefully we don’t see more snakes on the beach,” Flanagan told CBS News.

“All the years I have gone to Ocean City, I would never have thought that there were snakes in the water,” she said. “But now I’m worried about snakes.”

“I still come to the beach, but I will be extra careful,” she admitted Baltimore banner.

Ocean City Animal Control responded to a conversation about the snake and they moved the animal.

Flanagan’s husband Frederick was shocked when he learned about the family’s reptilian run-in.
