The two daughters are Brooke and Addy. Both of them enjoy rescuing wild snakes. Addy is nine years old, while Brooke is ten years old.
However, their mom, Holly, is always worried about her husband and their kids' safety. She even shared that she is not allowed to join the dad and his daughters' rescuing adventures because she tends to become too stressed. She said, "Bruce won't let me go because I'm a stress case and I'm like 'you guys get back'."

Rescuing wild snakes
The dad is from Texas, and while in there, he learned how to deal with snakes.
The dad and his daughters even sing songs when they are about to rescue the snakes. Their song goes, "Bad boys, bad boys what are you going to do? What you are going to do when they come for you?"
As the family offers their service for free, people from North County call their family any time. Addy even shared that the calls usually come at breakfast and even dinner time.
Since they started rescuing, they have brought back to nature 80 backyard snakes. They do this by bringing the snakes to a place that is miles away from where they were found.
Why do they rescue snakes?
For the dad, Bruce, he is not afraid of what the snake can do, what he loves to see is how they are released and brought back to their natural habitat, the place where they belong.
Bruce says that part of what they do, which he loves the most, is educating his girls and the people who ask for their help.
According to the dad, snakes do not usually attack humans. He said that snakes typically slither away when they are left alone. However, he also noted that some snakes could be dangerous and venomous.
Those who live around North County and would like to ask for help with some backyard snakes may call Bruce at (619) 204-5117.
