Have you ever seen anything so ugly?

I was out in the yard the other night and came upon two objects that I hadn't seen before. What are they? They look like snakeskins to me.

Although, I can't recall ever seeing a snakeskin up close. What if there's a snake den under my house?

I brought the questionable items into the house and took photos. Surely, if I post the photos on social media someone will know what they are. It's late. I'll post the photos in the morning.

So, I had a nightmare...about snakes.

Could there possibly be snakes living under my house? I did see a story a while back about a lot of snakes under a home.

I posted my photos on the NextDoor App.

To my delight, I learned that the "snakeskins" I found in my yard are nothing to worry about.

They're actually pods from a locust or catalpa tree.

From my neighbor William:

As others have noted, they are seed pods from locust trees. By the way, squirrels love to eat them, as some birds probably do as well, so don't worry about picking them up immediately.

I hope I never have to hire a rattlesnake wrangler.

LOOK: Stunning animal photos from around the world

From grazing Tibetan antelope to migrating monarch butterflies, these 50 photos of wildlife around the world capture the staggering grace of the animal kingdom. The forthcoming gallery runs sequentially from air to land to water, and focuses on birds, land mammals, aquatic life, and insects as they work in pairs or groups, or sometimes all on their own.

LOOK: Here are the pets banned in each state

Because the regulation of exotic animals is left to states, some organizations, including The Humane Society of the United States, advocate for federal, standardized legislation that would ban owning large cats, bears, primates, and large poisonous snakes as pets.

Read on to see which pets are banned in your home state, as well as across the nation.
