ALBANY, Texas – Big Country Snake Removal posted a video to Facebook on Sunday showing the removal of 45 rattlesnakes from underneath a home near Albany.
A family called the snake removal company after a man crawled underneath his home to check his cable and noticed a few snakes. A few turned out to be 45.

The family told the company owners they usually see a few snakes every year but didn't expect that their home could be a rattlesnake den.
"Their yard was very well kept and their house was nice and clean. Rattlesnakes don't care how nice your house is," the company wrote as part of a social media post.

Okay, here it is..... 45 rattlesnakes. Our day started off with a quick removal in Woodson, Texas. After the Woodson removal, we headed back south to a house between Baird and Albany. Due to the high winds, their tv/cable was acting up, so a gentleman crawled under to see what was going on. He saw a “few” snakes and quickly crawled out.... The interesting thing here was they only see a few each year, their yard was very well kept and their house was nice and clean.... My point is, we run into this scenario often, and people don’t think it can happen to them. As I stated in the teaser video, rattlesnakes don’t care how nice your house is or what kind car you drive- they care simply about survival. We arrived around lunchtime and as soon as I crawled under I could immediately see that there was far more than a “few.” 😜 The video will take over from here... If you’d like an inspection/removal, need rattlesnake avoidance training for your dog, or are interested in snake-proof fencing, please let me know.
