Mrs. Mason's husband found a snake last week, so naturally we had to bring it to class. He doesn't exactly have a name yet, but he is a little gopher snake, and he is cute! Ask your kids about Gopher snakes, they will tell you all about them! We learned about how they imitate rattle snakes to scare preditors, how they smell with their tounge, they are cold blooded (and of course, that we are the opposite) and that they are constrictors. All the kids have loved holding him, and the most important thing we've learned is that we always, always wash our hands after holding snakes or any other reptiles!
