In a social media post that went viral, Drew Desjardins, an animal rescuer, posted photos of tarantulas rescued from the landlord’s house. Desjardins said that four of the 19 tarantulas had died and the python had no water
Several social media users thanked Desjardins for rescuing the animals and giving them a home.All the recovered animals are considered illegal in the state of Maine. There was no news on whether the tenant who left them was being sought by authorities.This is not the only time animals have been found in a rented houses. In May this year, a family found four rat snakes already living in their ceiling soon after they moved in. Harry Pugliese, who moved into the Georgia apartment with his wife and step-daughter, said he was shocked to find out that it contained snakes.He added that he had approached the landlord several times about the house being infested with cockroaches and rats and a leakage in the roof. However, the landlord refused to get involved and told him to manage by himself. When the ceiling developed a crack, the reptiles were discovered living in the roof.The landlord, John Stafford, denied all the allegations made by Pugliese. Stafford added that he was evicting the family because they hadn't paid their rent.Pugliese said he hadn't received any eviction notice, but he was moving out of the house after the disastrous experience. He added that he would not pay Stafford the due amount until the infestation issue was resolved.
