FOSTER -- But some parents in Boone County are outraged after finding out there have been three real snakes found loose in Brookview Elementary in just two weeks time.
Boone County Schools Assistant Superintendent Jeff Huffman says the snakes appear to be garden snakes, also known as garter snakes.
Grandmother Nancy Dickens says the whole situation is a little shocking.
"I would go find someone to help me get it out of there," Dickens said. "I would try to keep the kids away from it."
Huffman says an exterminator has been called to the school on two different occasions this school year.
He adds that he does not believe students are in danger.

This article sounds like it was written by a freakin high school student.
...REAL snakes...????? As opposed to the rubber kind you find at novelty stores??
And then it turns out they’re GARTER snakes???
Must be a super slow news day wherever this happened. I’m not going to waste my time tracking down the url and poring over the page to find something more than “Foster in Boone County”.

"I got garter snakes up the wazoo around here."
In Chicago, the "garter snakes" all hang out at "The Blue Dahlia."

Last week my grandson caught an Eastern Diamondback Rattlesnake. He then skinned and cooked it ... it was tough.

Garter snakes? My HS Biology teacher had one that was a class PET. He’d let anyone who felt like handling it keep it out during class...the little guy frequently snoozed thru a class period wrapped around someone’s wrist, with his head on the back of their hand. Very cute and friendly little dude.
