Days later, when an eight-inch snake crawled across her bed, she screamed.
Finally, after stepping on a baby black rat snake, she moved.
A Maryland exterminator killed six snakes that were captured in Dressner's Middletown apartment. All six were about eight inches long and harmless. The exterminator suspects a previous tenant kept an adult snake as a pet.
Dressner, who has high blood pressure, diabetes and a heart condition, wrote a letter to her property managers demanding to be moved to a new apartment. Property manager John Mastriana says she won't have to pay October's rent or moving costs.
