It wasn’t slithering away like he expected but it stopped and stayed near him. This unusual behavior caught his attention, and he became increasingly curious
The idea that the snake might be thirsty crossed his mind, but he wasn’t entirely sure what it meant for an animal like this to behave in such a way.
Contacting Animal Control
Jake was concerned about the snake’s behavior, so he contacted animal control. He wasn’t sure whether he was overreacting or if there was something serious going on.
It was a rare sight when seeing a wild snake come so close to a human, and the situation seemed to warrant professional attention.
Soon after, an experienced animal control officer named Mark arrived at the scene. His reaction to the situation wasn’t what Jake expected.
Jake had assumed that Mark would simply dismiss the situation, but Mark’s demeanor was serious from the moment he arrived.
“You okay, Jake?” Mark asked, his focus entirely on the snake.
Jake, still unsure of what was happening, nodded. He hadn’t expected such a strong reaction. “Is this normal?” Jake asked, pointing at the snake.
Mark’s silence was enough to make Jake realize something wasn’t quite right. After a long pause, Mark finally spoke, his voice calm but concerned. “Not usually. We need to be careful with this one.”
