Buying a first home should be exciting, but for Amber Hall, it quickly turned into a horror story. She had searched tirelessly for the perfect place—a four-bedroom house with a big yard for her kids and dogs. But shortly after moving in, she realized they weren’t the only residents.
Her dog’s odd behavior was the first clue. Instead of playing, it crouched low, staring intently at the wall. When Amber looked closer, she saw movement—snakes slithering through tiny holes.
Panic set in as she discovered more snakes hidden inside the walls. A snake wrangler confirmed her worst fears: these weren’t just passing visitors. They had been living there for years.
Amber has since removed ten snakes, but the psychological toll remains. “I jump at every shadow,” she admitted. “I worked so hard for this house, and now I can’t even enjoy it.”
Her kids seem unfazed, but Amber may need extensive renovations before she feels truly at home.
