A snake that turned up in an Arkansas second-grade classroom ended up
biting the principal, a former Arkansas State Parks employee.
Lisa Graves, a second-grade teacher at Hector Elementary School, said
she picked up a curtain off the floor of her classroom and found a snake
coiled in the corner.
Graves sent her students into the classroom next door and informed the office that she needed help getting rid of the snake.
Principal Kara Rohr, a former Arkansas State Parks employee, said she
decided to put her wildlife experience to good use and capture the
serpent herself.
But the snake bit Rohr and latched onto her thumb.
Rohr said she wasn't upset about the bite from the nonvenomous serpent
and had maintenance workers release it into the wild a safe distance
from the school.
A South Carolina school district had to close a classroom last fall when
it became infested with snakes. Officials at Ware Shoals High School
said the classroom was taken out of use when five snakes were found
inside the room in a 10-day period.
