A woman has been found living with hundreds of rats and four malnourished snakes in a home in Washington, US. An official from the Area Agency on Aging alerted authorities about a month ago, but the 64-year-old woman, Michele Diller, who calls the rats her friends, has been uncooperative.On Wednesday a search warrant was obtained and officers found the floor covered with rat droppings and the carpets soggy with rat urine. The house will need to be razed, as the rats have gnawed through wiring, walls, cupboards and drawers, leaving 'no lights or heat or sewage disposal'. Officials have said that two malnourished boa constrictors, a corn snake and a king snake were seized from cages.
Investigators believe the woman bought some rats to feed the boa constrictors, but they got loose and filled the house with their offspring.

Well, I think she got attached to the rats and couldn't bear to feed them to the snakes.
