According to WTVD, Susan Thompson was enjoying a visit with her neighbor, Mrs. Newby, when they made a terrifying discovery. A huge pile of snakes were slithering under her home. This would be a pretty frightening sight for most people, but Mrs. Newby was ready to take action. She used a shotgun, a shovel, and a rake handle to kill all 11 snakes by herself.
Thompson took a photo of Mrs. Newby's drive where all the defeated snakes were laid out like trophies.
But Mrs. Newby wasn't going to stop there. She kept an eye out for more unwanted visitors. Over the weekend, Thompson shared an update saying that as of July 30, Mrs. Newby had killed 17 copperheads on her property.
