A spokeswoman for Pittsburgh Public Schools says a high school student swung around a snake from a biology class but didn't use it as a jump rope as police had said.
Schools spokeswoman Ebony Pugh said Wednesday that "it's not a big enough snake to jump rope with."
She also says the albino corn snake is OK and didn't need to be treated by a veterinarian after Monday's incident.
Police say the 17-year-old Taylor Allderdice High School student will be charged with theft and cruelty to animals.
