When Amber Hall purchased her first home in Centennial, Colorado, she felt she had finally found a place that offered comfort and stability for her family. The four-bedroom house provided space for her children, room for her pets, and the opportunity to create a long-awaited sense of home. But shortly after moving in, she noticed something unexpected that shifted her excitement into concern.
While unpacking, Amber saw her dogs react to small movements near a wall by the garage. Upon looking closer, she discovered a few snakes entering through openings in the drywall. Wanting to ensure her home was safe, she contacted a professional wildlife specialist, who carefully removed the snakes and explained that they were likely non-venomous. Although the situation was surprising, the animals were handled humanely.
Over the following days, a few additional snakes were found, raising questions about how long they may have been in the home and whether repairs were needed to prevent more from entering. Amber spoke with previous homeowners and local experts to understand the history of the house and gather guidance on how to move forward. While the situation was frustrating, she remained committed to resolving it responsibly.
Amber has taken steps such as scheduling inspections and planning structural evaluations to address potential entry points. Although the experience has been challenging, she remains hopeful that with the right repairs and professional support, her home will soon be the safe and comfortable space she envisioned. Her story serves as a reminder of the importance of thorough inspections and clear communication during the home-buying process.
