Ms. P picked up the amphibeans and delivered some reptiles this week. She took a few minutes to introduce us to Chunky Monkey the snapping turtle and Mikan the cornsnake.
 |
| Snapping turtles have long necks. They can not pull them into their shells, so their only protection is to snap at potential predators. |
 |
| Most cornsnakes are brown and blend in with the corn field environment, They are called cornsnakes because they live in the corn field and eat the mice that are there. |
 |
| Snakes will shed their skin. We felt its scales. |
This snake is a constrictor. That means it squeezes its prey before it eats it. Why does it stick its tongue out? To taste the air and find out what is around.
