Can a snake be both venomous AND poisonous AND harmless to humans? Yes, actually! 😁 Meet Virginia's State Snake: The Eastern Garter Snake! (Thamnophis sirtalis sirtalis) They serve the ecosystem as important predators AND prey, like all snakes. They eat toads, worms, frogs, salamanders, slugs, small rodents, soft-bodied insects, minnows, and really whatever else small prey they can catch. Garter snakes are easy pickings for herons, hawks, large frogs, and anything else that can catch them. 🍎 V

Meet your new favorite Virginia Native snake: The Eastern Wormsnake! (Carphophis amoenus amoenus) 🪱🐍❤️ When the rescuer called us about this tiny snake, we knew that it would be small--Wormsnakes only reach a maximum of about 10-12 inches! However, when this 3in long BABY Wormsnake showed up at our front door, we couldn't believe how TINY this little reptile was! 🤯 Despite their tiny size, this little snake is completely capable of surviving on their own.

Paradox? Mosaicism? Chimerism? Any of these terms may explain the unique marking on this wild baby Eastern Garter Snake (Thamnophis sirtalis sirtalis)! This little fella came to us after getting caught in a glue trap, which he thankfully was freed from with little incident! After he was freed, we noticed the dark blue-ish gray marking on his side, which was neither a damaged spot or a bruise! With a closer look, we realized that it was part of the animal's normal skin and scales! It is likely an

Racers are the greyhounds of the snake world, using their large eyes and keen sense of smell to track down their prey. Once in their lin
