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.

He’s adorable! Never understood the furor over tiny harmless things...
Atavistic fear? I’ve never had it for spiders, snakes, frogs, etc. I do have an aversion to flies, especially after having been bitten by deer flies.
Yes, I don’t get the fear of small, harmless creatures either.
Given how expensive schools are to build and maintain, you’d expect better results for your money.
