Kentucky couple bought dream home only to move in and find at least 25 snakes already living there

Jessica and Johnathan Perry say they found at least 25 snakes in and around their new Kentucky home after moving in during August. The infestation, which they say was not disclosed before the sale, has raised concerns about their young son’s safety and the cost of making the property safe.

The snakes were identified as non-venomous rat snakes, some reportedly up to six feet long. A contractor found dozens of eggs beneath the front porch, and neighbours told the couple the property had long been known as “snake house”. The Perrys fear there may be more dens inside the foundations; a neighbour has started a fundraiser to help with extermination costs.
