Moms are superheroes, no doubt about it. They bring brand-new life into this world, they multitask like no other animals on earth, and when it pertains to securing their children, there is seriously no enemy undue.
Moms will even go toe-to-toe with Mother Nature herself if requirement be. Take for instance Nicole Graham, the Texas-based Mom (and undiscovered reptile wrangler) who made headings after discovering a surprise flaky visitor in her child Haylie’s car engine.
Yep, it’s not daily you discover a snake nestled up under the hood, however this is Texas, after all. Luckily, Graham handled the situation like a pro.
The video, captured by Haylie, shows Graham wearing gloves as she fearlessly grabs the snake by its tail and guides it onto a ruler for better handling.
The best part though is hearing Graham use her mom voice on the snake as she coos, “Come heeerrree. Baby, I’m not trying to hurt you.”
Being the owner of a chicken coop and education facility, The Garden Hen, Graham is certainly no stranger to serpents. She told FOX 26 that she immediately recognized the reptile as a non-venomous rat snake (aka chicken snake), known to prey upon chicken coops to feed on small eggs. Perhaps this little fella thought he found a coop with some horsepower.
Graham’s farming experience has taught her how to handle creatures of all kinds not only safely, however with respect.
“Spiders, reptiles, snakes, it doesn’t matter. I view all animals with respect and compassion,” she shared in an interview with Today.com.
All I can say is Graham makes respect look super badass. Watch below:
