SPRING HILL, Tenn. – A section of a Home Depot store in central Tennessee was shut down recently after an astute customer noticed something suspicious in the store’s garden center: a rattlesnake.
Manager TJ Thompson told WKRN-TV that he shut down that section of the store and called wildlife experts, who quickly removed the intruder.
Animal Pro technician Adam Warden told WTVF-TV that the timber rattler wiggled furiously and tried to strike at the tongs used to remove it from beneath a store shelf.
The venomous snake is native to Tennessee and officials think it might have crawled in from a nearby field.
