Early this year, in Ackerly, Texas, a man gearing up for a construction project found himself facing an unexpected hurdle—a mysterious abandoned cellar near the property that raised concerns about potential snake inhabitants.
Fearing the presence of serpentine residents, he wisely sought assistance from Big Country Snake Removal. The snake removal experts, well-versed in handling such situations, embarked on the task with caution, fully aware of the surprises that awaited them in the subterranean depths.
“He was about to build a house very close by, and it felt a little ' snakey,’” Big Country Snake Removal wrote in a Facebook post. “His intuition was spot on.”

As the snake expert descended into the cellar, the snake expert from Big Country braced for whatever, even the possibility of encountering reptilian denizens lurking in the shadows.
“I never really know what to expect,” the rescuer said.
The snake handler quickly saw a western diamondback rattlesnake. What started as a solitary sighting soon transformed into a discovery of significant proportions—12 rattlesnakes concealed in the shadows.
The snake expert, armed with specialized tongs, skillfully maneuvered through the cellar to relocate each serpent into a bucket, ensuring their safe and careful transport to a more suitable release site. Despite the potentially unnerving setting, the snakes exhibited a characteristic calmness.
The snake handler emphasized a crucial distinction, noting that snakes are not inherently aggressive but can adopt a defensive stance based on the circumstances, a trait shared by various animals in their natural habitats.
The Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum sheds light on the versatile nature of western diamondback rattlesnakes, categorizing them as generalists capable of thriving in various environments.
These venomous snakes, equipped with potentially lethal venom, typically measure between 3 and 5 feet in length, with exceptional specimens reaching an impressive 7 feet.
Their adaptability to diverse habitats underscores the need for caution in regions where encounters with these snakes are possible.
