Now, I&#8217;m not scared of snakes at all, but I can&#8217;t say the same about our office manager&#8230; let&#8217;s just say none of us knew she could jump onto a desk that quickly!!<\/p>\n<p>Of course I had to take a look at it, then get a picture so I could show off my &#8220;grandma&#8217;s cool street cred&#8221; to the grandkids.

A special thank you to Justin Matthews of Matthews Wildlife Rescue for making that happen. He was too gentle and beautiful of an animal to have to destroy.
