<\/a>Now here\u2019s something you don\u2019t want to see.<\/p>\n
Young Isac McFadden of Abilene Texas saw a \u201cclump\u201d in the toliet. Fortunately, he went to his mother about it rather than investigating himself.<\/p>\n
His mother found what looks to be a healthy diamond back rattlesnake in the toilet, which, I guess, puts an end to the old story that rattlers don\u2019t much like water. Isac\u2019s mother killed the snake with a shovel (my grandmother always used a hoe,) and called Big Country Snake Removal.<\/a><\/p>\n It turns out that her house was infested. Twenty-three\u00a0more rattlers were calling the McFadden\u2019s place home. Thirteen of them were hiding out in the cellar and another 10, including six baby snakes, were under the house.<\/p>\n I\u2019ve always been wary of going underground in tornado season. I shine a light and look\u00a0it over before I venture in. The reason? I know snakes like places like that to \u2026 er \u2026 hole up. They also like close quarters in the winter.<\/p>\n The snake removal company cleared the snakes out of the house and cellar. From the way the story reads, they were a lot more careful than I would have been about not killing the things. They are quick to remind us that rattlesnakes are \u201camazing creatures that are really misunderstood.\u201d<\/p>\n You can count me among the misunderstanders.<\/p>\n From Yahoo!:<\/a><\/p>\n When young Isac Mcfadden of Abilene, Texas, got up to use the bathroom recently, he found an unexpected surprise in the toilet.<\/p>\n But he knew the \u201cclump\u201d wasn\u2019t the sort to handle on his own, so he called for his mom.<\/p>\n \u201cI found this big clump and I knew it was (a) snake,\u201d he\u00a0told the local CBS affiliate WTSP<\/a>.<\/p>\n Not just any snake. A western diamondback rattlesnake,\u00a0one of the most dangerous species<\/a>\u00a0in the US.<\/p>\n The boy\u2019s mother took a shovel and killed the unwelcome toilet explorer. But the family also called\u00a0Big Country Snake Removal<\/a>, just to make sure the issue was taken care of.<\/p>\n\n
