A Peaceful Morning Turns Dangerous
It was supposed to be a calm, sunny morning at the Roloff family farm in Oregon. Jacob Roloff — the youngest son of Little People, Big World’s famous Roloff family — had decided to spend the day doing some light gardening and yard work. He often shares pictures of his peaceful life on the farm, surrounded by nature, his wife Isabel, and their little son Mateo.
But that day, the peace was broken by something slithering through the grass. A snake—small, sleek, and shimmering in the morning light—that caught Jacob’s attention. Thinking it harmless, Jacob bent down and reached out to catch it.
“I Thought It Was Just a Garter Snake!”
Jacob later recounted the story on social media, his tone both humorous and slightly shaken. “I was just weeding near the fence when I saw this little guy. Thought it was a harmless garter snake, so I tried to move it out of the way,” he wrote.
However, as soon as he reached out, the snake coiled up, raised its head, and let out a terrifying hiss. Jacob froze. Isabel, who was nearby with their son, shouted for him to step back. “That’s not a garter snake, Jacob!” she yelled, her voice trembling.
Within seconds, Jacob recognized the snake as having distinctive black and white segments. Local experts later confirmed it was likely a venomous black and white snake, one of the most venomous snakes in the area.
A Close Call — and a Wake-Up Call
Luckily, Jacob didn’t get bitten. He slowly backed away while keeping his eyes on the snake. Eventually, the creature slithered into the bushes and disappeared. Isabel immediately called animal control to check the area and make sure the family’s garden was safe.
“I was lucky,” Jacob admitted later. “It’s a reminder that nature deserves respect — even in your own backyard.”
Fans quickly flooded the comments with relief and concern. One wrote, “You scared us, Jacob! Please be careful next time.” Another joked, “You almost turned ‘Little People, Big World’ into ‘Little People, Big Snake!’”
In the end, Jacob took it all in stride — even sharing a photo of his gardening gloves with a cheeky caption:
“Note to self: not every moving stick is a stick.”
A Lesson from Nature
Jacob’s near-miss has since gone viral among fans of Little People, Big World, with many calling it “the most Oregon thing ever.” But beyond the laughs, it’s also a humble reminder that even the calmest corners of life can hide danger.
For Jacob Roloff, that morning in the garden wasn’t just about weeds and soil — it was about respect, awareness, and gratitude for the wild world he loves so much.
“Every day’s an adventure,” Jacob later wrote. “Some days, the adventure hisses.”
