Residents in the peaceful neighborhood of Scottsdale, Arizona were in for quite the surprise this week when a routine call for a snake removal turned into a snake wrangling extravaganza. The homeowner, who wishes to remain anonymous, had reportedly discovered a nest of rattlesnakes in their garage.
Enter the hero of our story, a well-known local snake wrangler, who managed to remove a whopping 20 western diamondback rattlesnakes from the scene. Impressive, right? Well, that’s not all. One of the snakes, apparently a female, was found to be heavily pregnant.
Now, we’re no snake experts, but that seems like quite the accomplishment. Twenty snakes and one bonus rattlesnake baby all in one go? It’s almost too impressive to believe. We can only imagine how the wrangler must have felt when he came across the bumper crop of serpents lurking in that garage.
In true hero fashion, the snake wrangler took the snakes to a local animal control center, where they were safely released into the wild. Thank goodness for that, we can’t imagine living next door to a nest of western diamondback rattlesnakes. It’s hard enough to deal with our human neighbors, let alone our slithery ones.
The incident has raised concerns among locals about the increase in snake sightings in recent years. While Arizona is well-known for its rattlesnakes, it seems that they have been popping up more frequently in residential areas. Perhaps they’re just looking for a change of scenery, or maybe they’re trying to break into the housing market. Either way, it’s a pretty alarming trend.
In light of this news, residents are being advised to keep their homes and garages secure to prevent unwelcome visitors. It seems like a no-brainer, but apparently, some people need a reminder that snakes don’t pay rent and are not exactly ideal roommates.
We wanted to reach out to the lucky homeowner in question for comment, but they couldn’t be reached for an update. We’re sure they are thrilled to be rid of the slithery squatters, and we hope they are taking steps to secure their home to prevent any future snake break-ins.
As for the snake wrangler, we can only imagine this was just another day on the job for him. He’s probably seen it all – from baby snakes to massive pythons. We don’t envy his profession, but we’re certainly grateful that there are people out there brave enough to deal with our scaly neighbors.
In conclusion, we’re happy to report that all the snakes, including the pregnant one, were safely removed from the garage and released back into the wild. As for the homeowner? Well, we’re sure they’ll be checking their garage a little more thoroughly from now on.
