Texas homeowners thought there were a few snakes under their home, but a snake removal company soon recorded video of their hours-long work to remove 45 rattlesnakes from under the house.
The video was shot near Abilene, Texas, on March 13, Nathan Hawkins — owner of Big Country Snake Removal — told USA TODAY in a series of Facebook messages on Tuesday.
The company posted the nearly 18-minute long video to Facebook on Sunday, and it has been viewed more than 300,000 times there. It shows Hawkins and a partner working to remove snake after snake from a cramped space under the home.
The company's Facebook post says the owner discovered a "few" snakes while attempting to fix a TV or cable issue under the home. When Big Country Snake Removal arrived, they found a well-kept yard and a neat house.
The company warned that many homeowners "don’t think it can happen to them." But "rattlesnakes don’t care how nice your house is or what kind car you drive- they care simply about survival."
The video shows Hawkins using an extended tool to pick up the snakes. As he does, the reptiles react — sometimes using their rattles, sometimes slithering away, sometimes showing their fangs.
Video shot by Big Country Snake Removal's Nathan Hawkins on March 13 near Abilene, Texas shows the company removing dozens of snakes from beneath a home.
While the video has gained media attention, Hawkins said in a written message that the company regularly deals with similar situations: "This is nothing. We do this all the time."
The largest snake removed from the premises was 5 1/2 feet long, according to Hawkins.

never ate a frog's leg. Lutefisk, Lefse and pickled herring (pike in my case) but never snake or frog. I guess they just don't grow them big enough up here.
