Parent Pep Talk
Although she herself was also still nervous, Joy put on her parent hat and gave young Brooke a little pep talk, encouraging her to not be afraid and start getting into the car so they could start work and school as planned. Brooke had never expected to be so terrified within her own home, and that the otherwise mundane act of getting into her mom’s car to go to school would become such a scary ordeal.

Luckily, the photo that Joy had taken allowed the experts to identify the snake, and although some had thought at first that the snake was of a most poisonous and dangerous kind, it turns out it was a Grey Rat Snake. These are mostly harmless snakes that are non-venomous and will not attack a person or animal unless they are directly bothered. If anything, Brooke’s new “friend” probably enjoyed the impromptu photo session and made a new friend!
