Shaynon McFadden and Royce Robins discovered a large snake den underneath the back deck of the house when they purchased it on Rushmore Street, in November 2018. As per reports, they began finding the snakes the following spring. As the weather warmed, more snakes appeared in their yard and some were even found inside the home.
