Sondra Berg, the supervisor for the Santa Ana police department's Animal Services Division, said four of the five bedrooms in the home were stacked from floor to ceiling and wall to wall with plastic bins on wooden and metal racks.
The bins were packed so tightly, Berg said, that they didn't require lids because there was no room for the snakes to slither out.
