Junk removal specialists have to be prepared for all sorts of surprises when they remove old items from homes or yards.
A team of experts from Pop & Son’s Junk Removal in Alabama recently had an unexpected encounter when they were removing an old hot tub and they discovered that someone was living underneath it.
An unexpected find under the hot tub
The removal expert was initially startled when he saw the gray rattlesnake, but he knew that this species is non-venomous and harmless to humans.
Nevertheless, it is important to be careful when finding a snake and not to disturb it.
If you are unsure, you can always contact an expert or an authority for advice.
Why the snake had found itself under the hot tub, of all places, was no surprise to the junk removal experts at Pop & Son’s Junk Removal.
Rattlesnakes like to live in dark and inaccessible places such as hollow trees or under piles of wood.
However, it was clear to the specialist that the snake should not remain on the patio.
„I took a garden rake, picked up the snake, brought it to the top of the fence and from there I used the rake tip to direct it to the other side,“
he told The Dodo.
Back in the wild, the snake was able to find a safe new home.
A successful rescue operation
Thanks to the expert’s quick and level-headed response, the snake was rescued unharmed.
The story shows how important it is to leave animals in their natural environment and not to harm them when you come across them.
Overall, the story shows that you always have to expect surprises when clearing out old junk and how important it is to act responsibly in order to protect people and animals.
