In Arizona, a reptile wrangler was compelled to remove 20 western diamondback rattlesnakes from a garage after a concerned resident noticed the abundance of snakes.
From UPI:
Marissa Maki, of Rattlesnake Solutions, responded to a home in Mesa at which a resident reported some snakes had been in his garage for a few days.
Maki ended up removing 20 rattlesnakes -- five adults and 15 babies -- from the garage, and noted that one of the adult snakes was pregnant.
Rattlesnake Solutions owner Bryan Hughes said it was a new record for the most rattlesnakes removed in a single call. He said the skin sheds in the garage indicate that one point there may have been up to 40 snakes in the garage at a single time.
I personally find snakes fascinating and sometimes even beautiful creatures. However, I still can't wrap my head around why someone would want to have 20 of these deadly creatures chilling in their garage.
Considering that one was pregnant, it's safe to assume they were breeding these vicious snakes as well.
