A man in Abliene, Texas was having work done on his house and a worker went under the house to check something and saw 3 or 4 rattlesnakes. The owner called a company that removes snakes. They removed 45 Diamondback rattlesnakes from under the house.
I would be out of that house so fast your head would spin. Not afraid of snakes in general but under or in house, nope.

OMG!! Yes that is really a NIGHTMARE!!

I would be afraid of them coming back at some point even if the company removed them all!!

I remember reading a story many years ago about something similar in the pines of NJ. It was a new neighborhood that was built on a rattlesnake (one rarely hears of rattlesnakes in NJ) nesting area.

yikes!

There's an 17 minute video on capturing all the snakes.

The biggest was 5 1/2 feet long.

Oh my gosh! Nightmares, the willies and the heebejeebies! I have an aversion to snakes that dates back to the first grade (and at 65, I remember it like it was yesterday). Some genius administrator thought bringing a snake handler to our elementary school to do a presentation in the auditorium for all of us would be a great idea. He handled several snakes on stage, explaining what they were, who was venomous and who was not. For his last "act" he wound a boa constrictor around himself and came down the stairs into the auditorium. Now I have to inject, I'm a late November baby, started school at 4 years old (graduated HS and started college at 17), small for my age at the time, and in first grade at the time of this demo of snakes I was 5. The snake charmer walked down the aisle. I was three or four rows from the stage, aisle seat, and this man decided that I, a little 5 year old girl, should be the one he draped a huge boa constrictor around. I freaked out. I was so terrified at the thought of that hideously ugly, huge snake on me, I ran out of the auditorium, peed my pants (yes, humiliated even at that young age), and was so hysterical my mom was called to come pick me up. That terrifying memory stays with me 60 years later AndI can assure you - I HATE SNAKES! Worse than that I' m truly paralyzed when I see them.

If the same incident happened today, the school district and the snake guy would be making a terrified 5 year old a multi-millionaire after all of the law suits were settled!
