A West Texas homeowner who thought he had just a few snakes living under his house learned otherwise when dozens were removed last week.

When strong winds made the TV act up, the man crawled under the house between the cities of Baird and Albany, about 115 miles west of Fort Worth, to see what was wrong.

"He saw a 'few' snakes and quickly crawled out," Big Country Snake Removal said in a Facebook post.

The company posted a video of the removal on Facebook that shows snakes curled up on the ground and on top of cement blocks.

"There's just snakes everywhere under here," a man can be heard saying.

In all, 45 rattlesnakes were removed from under the house.

Nathan Hawkins, who owns Big Country Snake Removal, told The Washington Post that it was "just another day, honestly." The most snakes he's removed from a home is 88.

Hawkins said he relocates the snakes to ranches away from people and livestock.

As temperatures rise, snakes may be increasingly visible.

As of Tuesday, seven patients have been admitted to emergency rooms at six of the Texas Health Resources network hospitals. Six of those bites were from venomous snakes, according to a spokeswoman for Texas Health.

What to do if bitten by a snake

For questions about what to do, where to go or the effects of snake venom, you can call the North Texas Poison Center at 800-222-1222.

If you have no means to get to an emergency facility, or if you are extremely dizzy or have trouble breathing, call 911.

If bitten on an extremity, try to avoid moving it so the circulation of the venom might be slowed.

Take a picture of the snake that bit you or try to remember its markings.
