What Would You Do If You Came Home To Find 102 Snakes In Your Basement?

Earlier this week, a family in Saskatchewan, Canada got the surprise of a lifetime when they came home to find their house invaded by snakes. Somehow, over 100 garter snakes found their way inside the family’s home.

The snakes were looking to escape the plunging temperatures outside and begin hibernating for the winter. I’m not sure I could think of a worse place for a snake to hibernate. I feel bad for the poor family.

At first, it looked like they just had a couple of garter snakes in their basement. Not really a big deal.

However, as they kept looking, they found more and more snakes. A few snakes even made it as far as the kitchen and the bedrooms. That’s when it was time to call in the professionals.

The family called up the local wildlife center. They sent a couple of people to investigate and round up the snakes.

In total, the folks from the wildlife center collected 102 snakes from the home. Here they all are together. Eck!

Garter snakes are among the most harmless type of snake out there. These garter snakes found their way into the family’s home looking for a place to hibernate for the winter.

Even though these are harmless snakes, this would freak me the heck out. I don’t want my house to be invaded by things that creep or crawl. No thank you.

Smuggling Paraphernalia Can Be Hard Work, Even When It Fails. This Is Ridiculous.

I figured smuggling would be an interesting line of work, but I had no idea just how strange it actually was. It’s difficult enough to get perfectly legal foods across borders, so naturally trying to bring illegal things into a country is even harder. You can’t just slap a fake mustache on a bag of cocaine and tell security it’s your Uncle Pete. (Even if that does sound outlandishly genius.)

If you want to make money off of contraband, you have to be creative. Just take a look at some of the weird examples below–and don’t forget, these are the techniques that didn’t work.  

1.) Avocado Filled with Cocaine

2.) Stuffed Animal Stuffed with a Handgun

3.) Clams Stuffed with Cocaine

4.) Chocolate-covered Methamphetamine

5.) Ceramic Cats Filled with Opium

6.) Money in Bread

7.) Cocaine in Breast Implants

8.) Ecstasy Inside of a Mr. Potato Head Toy

9.) Marijuana Packed into the Shape of a Donkey

10.) Geckos in Books

11.) Plant Base Filled with Ephedrine

12.) Wooden Door Filled with Cocaine

13.) Frogs in a Film Cannister

14.) Anabolic Steroids in Lubricant Bottles

15.) Snake in a Clay Pot

16.) Cocaine in Candy Eggs

17.) Soccer Ball Filled with Cigarettes

18.) Dead Bugs Filled with Cocaine

Whoa. That sure is an interesting line of work. Imagine what these people could have done with those creative minds of theirs if they had chosen a career where most retirement parties don’t take place in a prison. This really makes you wonder how people successfully brings these things in!
