The defensive superstar took to Twitter after finding what he thought was a rattlesnake in his bathroom. Arizonans had some interesting advice.
PHOENIX – While he’s an expert on the football field, Arizona Cardinals defensive end JJ Watt wasn’t sure what to do when he found a snake in his home Saturday morning.
The football star took to Twitter to ask for advice from locals after finding a “rattlesnake” in his bathroom.
Answers ranged from a phone number for the Phoenix Herpetological Society to suggestions that Watt seek a trade.
JJ posted an update a few hours later, saying he called an expert to take action. JJ said the man grabbed the snake with his hands and said the creature was NOT a rattlesnake but a long nosed snake that is completely harmless.
“If you ever want to feel like a weirdo, this is how you do it,” JJ joked.
There are a large number of venomous creatures that call Arizona home. If you find a rattlesnake in your home or yard, you can call 602-550-1090 to remove it humanely.
