MESA, Ariz. -- An Arizona man called a snake removal company after seeing what he thought were three rattlesnakes lurking in the garage of his Mesa home. He was wrong.
There actually were 20 snakes — five adult western diamondback rattlers and 15 babies. One of the adult snakes also was pregnant.
Snake wrangler Marissa Maki found most of the rattlers coiled around the base of a hot water heater in the unidentified homeowner’s cluttered garage Tuesday.
“That is a lot of snakes. I’m not going to lie. This is crazy,” Maki said in a YouTube video recorded by the company, Rattlesnake Solutions.
The western diamondbacks, with their distinctive triangular-shaped heads, are found throughout the Southwest. And though their venom is far less toxic than other rattlesnake species, they still require care when being handled.

ABC really missed the boat here by not blaming the rattlesnake infestation on Climate Change.
But maybe that’ll be fixed in an update.
Somebody needs to close some holes in their garage.
Eww, I could not live in that place. I hate snakes.
It was simply a meeting of the local Democratic party branch.
and know he knows why he never sees any rodents!
Honestly, I would rather be surprised in my garage by a small rodent.
Dude has a mouse or rat problem too.
Snakes are more afraid of you becausez you are too big to swallow.
Rattlers are safer than other poisonous snakes because they give you a sound warning when you get close.
Be scared of aggressive snakes such as black mamba, bushmaster or saw scaled viper. Not only they are aggressive, their venoms are deadly.
No mice, though.
well not so much now
“Asps. Very dangerous! You go first.”
I hate them all. I don’t discriminate.
Me too!
Where I live, I get every creature you can imagine. The worst are the rattlesnakes by far, followed by scorpions and then the poisonous frogs.
“I’m just gonna stick my toe out here, snakes, so don’t you bite me or nothin.’ Just give it a little snaky lick when I stick my toe out. Okay, look. You can bite it, but don’t put none of your juice in it, okay snakes?”
“Uh, hi, Marissa! What would you charge to do Washington DC?”
Kill it with fire!
