Kyle Richards went to her ex Mauricio Umansky in full damsel-in-distress mode — all because of a snake — and now he’s spilling whether he swooped in to save the day.
We caught Mauricio outside L.A. hot spot Craig’s Wednesday, and he set the record straight — turns out he was nowhere near the Palm Springs pad when Kyle called him last week, full shriek mode, about a rogue serpent on the loose in the house.

Check out the video — from Mauricio’s tone, it sounds like if he had been nearby, he would’ve dashed over in a heartbeat to save Kyle from her hiss-terical crisis.
We also grilled Mauricio on whether Kyle still calls him for all the other so-called manly duties around the house — and while he sidestepped the question, he couldn’t stop singing her praises.

Bottom line — Mauricio makes it clear there’s still nothing but love between him and Kyle. As for the big snake rescue? That honor went to the real MVP … Animal Control!
