Snakes under house – level 3

20-11-2024 15:00

A man from Texas crawled under his house after high winds disrupted his cable TV service, and he noticed ‘a few’ snakes there.

When a snake removal company came around, it was clear there were more than just a few – the workers removed 45 rattlesnakes from underneath the house.

In Texas, snakes come out from underneath households as soon as the weather warms up.

Difficult words: crawl (move on hands and knees), disrupt (damage, cause problems), rattlesnake (a snake in the USA which rattles – makes a typical warning sound).

You can watch the video news lower on this page.

How many rattlesnakes were removed from underneath the man's house in Texas by the snake removal company?
