Ribbons!

Today we’re meeting an interesting mostly aquatic snake- called the ribbon snake. Any guess where they got their name from?

Ribbon Snake Fun Facts:

• Ribbon snakes call marshes, ponds and lakes home.
• They are excellent swimmers.
• They are related to garter snakes.
• These slender constrictors only eat ectothermic prey including frogs and fish.
• They use their site and hearing senses when hunting for prey.
• Ribbon snakes hibernate during the winter.

These neat little snakes have small heads and therefore eat smaller prey. Like all snakes they swallow them whole.
