This is a gopher snake. It’s very fast. In the picture you may only see one, but there are two. The other is sleeping. You know how people say snakes are slimy? Well, actually, they’re not. They are very cool. They make me think of Shell. ~Aslin
There are two snakes in aquariums in the office at Camp Ocean Pines. They’re gopher snakes (they get their name from what they eat) but since they’re pets, they get fed mice. They didn’t have names so we just call this one “Fluffy Brownie Snowball”.
Some people think snakes are slimy, buy they’re not, just smooth. It feels really weird having a snake wrap around your arm, but it makes them feel more secure because they won’t fall. The snakes were hibernating but it’s been so warm, they woke up. The snake hissed, “What? Spring already?” Even the hissing tongue isn't slimy, it just tickles. I'm thinking of getting a snake. ~Ukiah
