In Radnor, reactions to the slithering serpent were mixed.
"I would run the other way because that's not a small snake," one resident said.
"I know what mom would do, she would jump and scream," one neighbor said.
Others found the creature more charming.
"Snakes are cute," one said. "If it wasn't venomous, I probably would see if I could pet it."
