REPTILIAN TUESDAY # 66
We’re going exploring in our own backyard to meet a gorgeous snake who farmers love to have in their fields. So let’s grab a camera, backpack and a walking stick and head out of on today’s adventure!
MEET THE CORN SNAKE!

Fun Facts:
- Corn snakes coloration varies depending on where they live.
- Corn snakes are nocturnal.
- They are a member of the rat snake family.
- Corn snakes shake their tales when they are threatened.

I like corn. Not sure about corn snakes…. Sometimes, Mom lets me lick the corn cob when she eats corn. I wish I could eat the whole cob.
Love and licks,

Hehe- corn is delicious- corn snakes not so much!
