Good that he called to have them removed, instead of trying to catch them himself.

Texans are traditionally rather understated.

“Got me a lil’ spread” can mean “I got 60,000 acres o’ gay-ss’ wells.”

By Texas standards, well, that’s a few. If he had 5000, we’d be impressed.

Had to look that up. Albany is about 3 hours west of Dallas.

I’ll bet his neighbors have a couple snakes as well.

All the global cooling this winter probably drove them to find a warmer place to nest....

Most houses with crawl spaces have entry points to get in for maintenance of stuff like plumbing and HVAC. And vents for allowing air circulation. As houses get old, these are often compromised and critters are attracted to the warmth in winter.

Seymour,TX, and Waurika, Oklahoma, both within an hours’ drive of there have rattlesnake hunts to decrease the numbers of the critters. Some of those places have so many rattlesnakes that just hiking through the pastures is a dangerous task.
