Danica Patrick has seen and done a lot more than most people in her life, but this week she got a surprise that she certainly wasn’t expecting.
She’s risked life and limb racing in an open-wheel, open-cockpit IndyCar at speeds of over 230 miles per hour.
She once grabbed the pole position at Daytona with an average speed of over 196 miles per hour.
But when it comes to creepy crawlies, Danica Patrick is just like the rest of us.
In a new TikTok video, Patrick revealed that a rattlesnake had made its way on to her property in Arizona.
“How shocked I am that someone can be at my house in 30 min and grab a snake by the trail and casually turn the water off (we had to flood him or her out) and tell us all about him BEFORE he puts it in the pail before it is 100% relocated,” Patrick wrote in the TikTok video.
“He said they make friends very easily and are very important animals to keep around,” she continued. “Just not in my back yard. With 2 wolves that are very curious.”
“Kevin from @arizonasnakeremoval was a real bad a– last night after Ella smelled a rattlesnake in the drain next to the house and started growling!”
She also credited a couple of other people who were on hand that “were significantly more brave” than she was.
“AND I have a significant rattlesnake proof fence,” Danica continued. “It came in through the drain system.”
Watch Patrick looking absolutely beside herself in fear when the camera pans to her standing on some blocks with her hands behind her head as the snake wrangler casually walks around holding the rattlesnake by the tail like it’s no big deal.

I don’t know about you, but I would have to move. Or at the very least burn the house to the ground, right?
