At that moment, Jenna, was terrified and still had no clue at that time, if the snake was venomous. Jenna screamed, with the help of her husband armed with a bucket and broom, they managed to place the snake into a container to take to animal control.

All the while Jenna and husband were hoping and praying that the snake’s bite was not venomous, which happened to be that milk snakes are not venomous.
