Woman finds more than 90 rattlesnakes under her home in US

All the snakes were Northern Pacific rattlesnakes, the only venomous snake found in Northern California. Rattlesnakes usually hibernate from October to April and look for rocks to hide under and warm places and will return to the same place year after year.
Al Wolf is used to clearing one or two snakes from under houses but recently was called by a woman who said she had seen rattlesnakes scurry under her Northern California house and was surprised to find more than 90 rattlesnakes getting ready to hibernate.
Wolf, director of Sonoma County Reptile Rescue, said he crawled under the mountainside home in Santa Rosa and found a rattlesnake right away, then another and another. He got out from under the house, grabbed two buckets, put on long, safety gloves, and went back in. He crawled on his hands, knees and stomach, tipping over more than 200 small rocks.
