A man in Arizona suspected that three rattlesnakes were hiding in his garage, but the reality was far worse. A snake catcher arrived at the man’s home in Mesa and discovered there were actually 20 rattlesnakes in the garage.

On Tuesday, Marissa Maki, a snake wrangler, found most of the rattlers coiled around the hot water heater in a cluttered garage. She picked them up in clumps with her tongs. “That is a lot of snakes,” Maki said. “I’m not going to lie, this is crazy. I’m guessing more than one of these (adults) was a mom that had babies.”
