Even the man trying to sell this house admits it has a 'horrible' problem.

But there are snake lovers in the world, so he remains hopeful.

The agent trying to sell this five-bedroom house in Idaho has listed it for $66,000 less than its estimated market value - because it is infested with thousands of snakes.

Last year its owners gave up and walked away, allowing the house to fall into foreclosure - deciding that was a better option than living with the serpents slithering around in the ceilings and walls.

That task would be hard enough with the current market, but once the slithery occupants are factored in, you have to feel a pang of sympathy for the optimistic Mr Davis.

Even his decision to slash the price from the estimated value of $175,000 to $109,000 may not be enough.

Dunno...apparently the *aroma* draws more and more snakes and over time... their numbers are growing all the time.

guinea hens - lots and lots of guinea hens

After a few months of lots and lots of guinea hens, one will appreciate the snakes. :) Nice quiet snakes!
