JJ Watt Says He Felt ‘Like a Wimp’ After Finding a Snake in the Bathroom of His Arizona Home; Long-nosed Snake

JJ Wattis not a fan of snakes.

Over the weekend, the Arizona Cardinals football player, 33, shared a series of messages on Twitter detailing what went down when he found a snake in the bathroom of his Arizona home.

In afollow-up video, Watt detailed what happened after he called for help to remove the reptile, revealing that his situation at hand wasn’t as deadly as he initially feared.

“I call this guy, and he comes out to the house, takes a look at [the snake], and he just picks it up with his bare hands,” Watt said in the clip. “And he goes, ‘Ah, that’s not a rattlesnake. It’s a long-nosed snake — completely harmless.’ And then he left. So, if you ever want to feel like a wimp, that’s a way to do it.”
