Colorado mom discovers SNAKES slithering inside the walls of her first home she worked her whole life to buy - and is now too petrified to move in after forking over $1,000 trying to get rid of them

A single mom has recounted how she horrifyingly stumbled across a horde of snakes living in the foundation of her new home.

Amber Hall made the shocking discovery last month, days after moving into the four-bedroom, two-bath behemoth in Colorado with her two kids.

The home is set on a scenic, tree-lined street in Centennial, centrally located among some of of Denver's most affluent suburbs, to the city's south.

Hall, 42, says spent her entire adult life working to afford the dream domicile - and was over the moon when she and her children moved in back in April.

However, that changed when the mom-of-two came across the school of scaly reptiles slithering in her walls and underneath her patio.

Moreover, the realtor who sold her the house has since gone AWOL, forcing her to personally fork over thousands of dollars for professional help - who are telling her the infestation is now more serious than once thought.

Scroll down for video:

'I was unpacking in here and one of my dogs crouched down and started walking over to this corner really slow,' Hall told FOX31 of how she has made the disturbing discovery almost immediately after moving in.

'I was like, "What is it, buddy?" I thought maybe it was a spider, whatever,' she recalled.

'I came over and as I came over, I saw the snake slither up the wall.'

Upon closer inspection, she realized it was not one snake, but several - all living along the back wall of the home's garage that leads into the yard.

Would not her title insurance help on something like this. Plus what did the realtor know when they sold the house. Looks like Fraud on the part of the seller and realtor.

It is called an inspection. Normally done before you purchase.

On the bright side, she’ll never have to worry about rats or mice.

They look like harmless garter snakes. Where there is vermin, you will find snakes. These snakes are probably eating mice or crickets in the house. Just grab the snakes and throw them in a box, and dump them somewhere on vacant land.

Did she not have a home inspector look at the place before she bought it? Would not have he/she caught this?

That’s what I’m wondering! Who was her home inspector? Why was this not caught? Those snakes had been there a while.

Would seem there are too many and they have made themselves at home.

I love Garter snakes. We had a blue striped one in the yard which was unafraid of me. They hibernate together which is what this woman found. When the weather gets warmer they leave. Some exterminator will gladly take the money of this dummy.

Likely hibernating, and not eating. They should disperse with warmer weather. She can seal things against them, then. They’re likely living in her head, rent-free, tor the duration, though.

NO SYMPATHY HERE...COLORADO IS F.U.L.L. OF SNAKES.

Best thing to do if you are a common sense conservative...get the hell out of Colorado.

For Pete’s sake...they COULD NOT FIND THE CRUEL MURDERER WHO KILLED A BEAUTIFUL CHILD NAMED JON BENET.

WHAT A DISGRACE.

uncharacteristically large for a garter snakes.
…………

My kids, especially my girls would love to live there. My only concern is what are they eating? Snakes don’t bother me but if it’s bugs or rodents, I’m gone.

I grew up in Colorado, those don’t look like the snakes we’d find. More like escaped pet reptiles.
