The video of the snakes was shot by a viewer in Midland County.

The men said they found 84 rattlesnakes hibernating when they went in to clean out the building.

They loaded all of the snakes into a barrel.

Animal control officials said it hasn't been warm enough for snakes to start coming out, but it's getting close to the end of their hibernation period.

The officials said the workers were lucky they weren't bitten.
