<p>GROVELAND, Fla. — After their clothes dryer began blowing out a lot of lint, a Florida family called a repair man who discovered a dead snake rather than a jammed motor.</p>
<p>“I was like oh — that’s what caused the motor to blow,” Alyson Pring told Orlando television station <a href="https://www.clickorlando.com/news/local/2021/03/24/theres-a-dead-snake-in-there-florida-family-finds-serpeant-snarled-up-in-dryer/#//">WKMG</a>.</p>
<p>Repairman Darrell Cobble stopped by to take a look at what was causing the problem, the station reports.</p>
<p>“He just stands up, and he walks off. He’s like, ‘There’s a dead snake in there,’” Pring said.</p>
<p>Cobble told the station that while it’s not common, snakes can find their way into dryers. He said there is usually a grate that prevents snakes and other animals from entering the dryer. But Pring’s central Florida home did not have one.</p>
<p>They’ll be keeping an eye out now, Alyson Pring said.</p>
<p>“Could’ve been much worse, but I’m glad it was dead, done, fixed it up and ready to go,” she said.</p>
