WHY’D IT HAVE TO BE SNAKES?

Texas Homeowners Discover 45 Rattlesnakes Under Their House

The biggest was over 5 and a half feet long.

It’s the stuff of nightmares. Homeowners in Texas called in a snake-removal company after spotting a few rattlesnakes near their house—only for the company to find 45 of them slithering around under the house. A video shot near Abilene shows Nathan Hawkins—owner of Big Country Snake Removal—removing the angry snakes one by one. A Facebook post says the homeowner discovered a few of the snakes while attempting to fix a cable issue under the home. The video shows Hawkins using a long tool to pick up the snakes as they use their rattles, try to escape, and bare their fangs. The largest snake removed from the premises was 5 1/2 feet long, Hawkins said. He wasn’t fazed, however, writing: “This is nothing. We do this all the time.”
