After thorough research, it’s been established that these are a kind of garter snake. However, they do come with a disclaimer that garter snakes are typically not this large.
Amber mentioned, “I can’t even unpack any of my stuff because I’m convinced there might be snakes in the packages or lurking inside the boxes… It’s like when you jump into bed and quickly pull the sheets off or leap out of bed just to make sure there’s no one under there.”
Around a week ago, Amber encountered the first snake, and since then, she has come across a total of 10 snakes. In a bid to humanely remove the snakes from her home, the concerned mother enlisted the help of a snake wrangler. Based on their size, he informed Amber that some of these snakes might have been dwelling in the house for up to two years.
“I don’t feel like I’m the first person to find them,” Amber admitted. “But I can’t imagine anyone admitting they knew about them.” She further expressed, “It’s tough. I’m 42 years old, and this is my first home. I’ve worked my whole life to get here, but I can’t even enjoy it. My kids will enjoy it, but I’m pretty scared.”
Amber has already spent nearly $1,000 on evicting these unwelcome guests from her home. She shared her suspicion that she won’t truly feel secure until every inch of the house is stripped down to uncover where these creatures have truly taken residence.
I can’t fathom dealing with this situation, it’s truly a homeowner’s nightmare. Let’s hope Amber and her children can find some peace amidst this snake-infested ordeal.
