Louisiana Woman Accidentally Cooks Pet Snake. Her Boyfriend Blamed Her for Not Checking the Oven: ‘That’s What Hell is Gonna Smell Like’

Losing a pet is a nightmare scenario for any pet owner—and it’s even worse if a romantic partner was involved in the crime. Angela Nutt (@angelanutt5) from Louisiana told TikTok about the time she accidentally baked her ex-boyfriend’s pet snake. What was supposedly a tragic story left social media users shocked at every turn.

“Did I cook my boyfriend’s pet ball python in the oven? Yes. Did I mean to? No,” Nutt clarified at the start of her TikTok post.

“Richard and I were at the tail end of an eight ball,” she explained. Richard was the codename she gave for her ex-boyfriend. Essentially, both of them haven’t had a good night’s rest, but they decided to go grocery shopping anyway. When they got home, Nutt craved broiled English muffins with peanut butter and jelly.

She went to the guest oven, which she put on broil. Nutt specifically mentioned that she was high on drugs when she turned the oven on. Despite her state, she started cleaning the kitchen anyway.

That was until smoke started filling the room. Then, a stench hit her nose. The scent was so putrid, she looked gagged. Nutt opened the oven up, and she saw a cooking sheet in it, but there was nothing on it.

But she got on her forelegs and leaned to check the broiler area of the oven.

“Oh my god! There’s like—the pipe has something wrapped!” Nutt said. But upon closer inspection, she noticed that what she saw wasn’t a pipe at all.

It was a snake, and it was engulfed in flames. She said that the snake’s head was faced in her direction, and it looked absolutely cooked.

“Listen, dry heave is an understatement,” Nutt recalled. When she saw the snake, she felt like throwing up.

Accidentally baked a snake

Nutt was high, and now she’s seeing a flaming ball python in her oven with its scent filling the kitchen. She started screaming for Richard.

“Oh my god, Richard! Your snake! Your snake is in there!” She reenacted, and it seemed like she was struggling to breathe at the time. Richard burst onto the scene, shocked that his snake was baked.

Nutt said that apparently, Richard would let his ball python crawl around the house “like a cat.” It was normal for both of them to find the snake in odd places at the house. At one point, she even found the snake when she opened up the drawer. But Richard said the snake was gone, and Nutt believed him.

It turns out, Richard wasn’t telling the truth. The ball python was still somewhere in the house. Nevertheless, Richard was distraught when his pet snake was baked.

“Oh my god! Why didn’t you check the oven for a snake before you turned it on?” Richard asked Nutt, who was still gagging on the smoke.

“Who does that?” she asked him amidst the fire. Nutt said that it was asinine to check for a snake in the oven. But Richard couldn’t stop asking her questions—as if it were the norm to check for a snake before using an oven.

It got worse

They went to his bedroom to wait for the smoke to clear. Richard was tearing up over the snake, not knowing how to tell his kids that the family pet has passed on so tragically. But then, the smoke wouldn’t clear, and the stench just got worse.

“Did you shut the oven?” Richard asked Nutt, and that’s when it dawned on the couple. They forgot to kill the oven before fleeing to the bedroom.

“I cooked that snake to hell and back, girl!” Nutt recounted. The oven was still wide open and still cooking the poor snake. There was so much smoke, Nutt said, she couldn’t see her hand in front of her face.

“I couldn’t even describe the smell except to say that’s what hell is gonna smell like.” The scent was so pungent Nutt left her boyfriend in his house. She apologized, but the smell of the burnt snake was unbearable.

When she came back two weeks later, she claimed that the house “smelled like death.” Despite the snake being burnt to a crisp, Richard confessed that he couldn’t bear to get the corpse of his pet snake out of the oven. Richard got it out eventually, but during the relationship, he’d bring the baked snake story back up often.

It’s not everyday that people hear about a snake being baked. But it’s also a good reminder never to fire up an oven in a terrible headspace.
