From the article: The bank sent an inspector, who estimated in December there were about 400 to 500 snakes at the house. The latest assessment from the inspector is that there are multiple thousands of snakes.

From the article: Davis understands the snakes to be under the foundation of the house and Ben Sessions says he believes the snakes to be by the well because the water at the house tasted the same as the snakes smelled. Garter snakes "secrete a foul-smelling fluid from anal glands when alarmed." (Click here for more.) "From what we're told, the snakes actually leave a scent that attracts other snakes to the den for up to 2 miles away," Davis said.

Why don’t the Sessions sue the prior owners and maybe the Realtor for failure to disclose a material defect?

It’s probably going to have to be sold to somebody who is willing to tear it down and rebuild.

Check out this "Snake House."

My wife and I took a walk-through of it while it was under construction, and we decided that the floor plan was unlivable. I think aliens (the extra-terrestrial kind) live there.

This reminds me of "Snake Farm", by Ray Wylie Hubbard
