Slither me timbers- we had a great time at Wonder Bugs today! The sun was shining so it was a perfect day to warm ourselves like our cold-blooded friends, snakes. We found a lot of snakes on the trail (well, pictures of them anyway). But the best part was that we got to see real, slithering snakes inside!
We got to observe a Prairie Kingsnake (not found in Wisconsin) who had eaten a chipmunk a couple of days before, and we felt the dry scales on a Milksnake, and listened to the Fox Snake hiss. They kept sticking their forked tongues out at us! I wonder if they liked the way we smelled? :)
Here are some pictures of the types of snakes we saw:

If you took any pictures of the Wonder Bugs classes with the snakes and would like to share them, please email me or Alanna. Thank you!
I wish I were a silly slithery snake! Don’t you?
