This man thought he had a ‘few’ snakes under his home. It turned out to be 45.

UPDATED 6 HOURS 11 MINUTES AGO

When this homeowner two hours west of Fort Worth started having problems with his cable reception last week, he crawled under his house to see what was going on.

He quickly found a “few” snakes living under his home between Albany and Baird and called Big Country Snake Removal, according to the Buffalo Gap company’s Facebook post.

“Due to the high winds, their tv/cable was acting up, so a gentleman crawled under to see what was going on,” Nathan Hawkins, the company owner posted. ““He saw a ‘few’ snakes and quickly crawled out.”

As the company’s team started looking under the house on March 13, they found more than just a few snakes. ... By the time they were done they had pulled 45 snakes from the house{.}

Either he has a mouse factory or they are just staying there for shelter and then hunting nearby.

It was a black snake.. You never saw a 70 year old guy levitate while moon walking!! I think the snake was more terrified then me as it slithered off into the bush..
I had to laugh at my self, it must have looked ridiculous!!

the side of our house and I guess it's eating bugs? Very strange. The first time I saw it was when it was clinging to the side of the house looking in Mr WT's office window! We have pictures of it, but it really doesn't look like anything.

9. Texas hiking... ground littered with live snakes

I’d hiked in Carolinas for years and seen one or two
Dragged someone hiking in Texas, north of Houston, a state park
Reassured him it would be fine, there’s trails
We walked for 30 or 40 minutes over leaf litter before we realized that there were thousand of snakes under the leaves
So creepy
Ran back, trying to avoid the leafy places
