# Texas home yields more than 20 rattlesnakes from crawl space 2026-08-12T19:01:30+00:00 | World & Diplomacy | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet A wildlife-removal team in Aledo, Texas, pulled more than 20 rattlesnakes from beneath a single home this week. Snake wrangler Sheila Taber called the crawl space 'a whole den' as snakes kept emerging. Company owner Randall Kennedy put the final count at roughly two dozen. The homeowners had called for routine pest control but discovered a large den instead. Experts say the space offered cool shade and a steady supply of rats and rabbits, creating ideal conditions for the snakes. Texas is home to ten rattlesnake species. Authorities advise homeowners never to try removing venomous snakes themselves, but to seal gaps and control rodents to make properties less attractive to wildlife. ## Coverage - timesofindia.indiatimes.com Tags: home safety, pest control, rattlesnakes, snakes in houses, Texas, wildlife removal Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/texas-home-yields-more-than-20-rattlesnakes-from-crawl-space/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
