This doorbell camera in Arkansas was activated by a hungry snake attempting to climb up to a birds' nest above the door.

Filmed on June 12, the snake can be seen flicking its tongue out before slithering up the wall towards the birds.

Shane, who's doorbell camera caught this footage, told Newsflare: "I was sitting in an executive meeting when the alert that someone was at my door went off.

"I looked at the camera and was stunned. Showed my coworkers and completely derailed the meeting.

"I live in a neighbourhood but we are on about 1 acre lots and then there is plenty of woods around the neighbourhood.

"It isn't uncommon to see deer in the yard, never on the doorbell though. We've had tiny six-inch snake before, but again, never ON the doorbell.

"I have kids and was going to remove the snake from my property but it was gone."

My Ring doorbell alerted me to someone (thing) at my door. There is a bird nest about ten feet up that the snake was trying to get.

Sitting in a executive meeting when the alert that someone was at my door went off. Look at the camera and was stunned. Showed my coworkers and completely derailed the meeting. Course had to send to family and friends and share on Reddit because just how incredible it was to watch this Snake climb straight up.

No. I live in a neighborhood but we are on about 1 acre lots and then there is plenty of woods around the neighborhood. It isn't uncommon to see Deer in the yard, never on the doorbell though. We've had tiny six-inch snake before, but again, never ON the doorbell.

No. Video was about 11:00 AM CST and I went home around 1:30 PM CST for lunch and grabbed a shovel and rake to look for it. I have kids and was going to remove the snake from my property but it was gone. I also have a twelve second video where you can see the Snake FALL from the wall. It bounces off my 3 foot 4"X4" post that holds a sign and knock it over.
