"Right before I started recording, we all saw the snake appear to bite the bobcat on the lip. The bobcat did not seem to be fazed."
Lucky says that the large cat quickly took charge.
"It was like he was playing with his food," she says.
In the end, the snake had no chance and the video ends with the cat strutting away, the snake in its mouth.
As for the family from California?
"They really enjoyed the show, though they were worried about the bobcat after it looked like it was bit," she says.
And did they make a deal on the house?
"They haven't made an offer yet," she says. "But I'm still hopeful.
"You just never see this kind of thing actually happen."
