Under the premise of our fb group Louisiana Snakes, I had the pleasure of going out to make a presentation for Kindergarteners at Wild Roots Forest School. Steven Kennedy was gracious to meet me for a collaboration of Louisiana Snakes and his Snaketuary. They kids and their amazing teacher, Brandy all got to see some of our native snakes such as Cornsnake, Ratsnake, Plain-Bellied water snake, Speckled King Snake and a Buttermilk racer. Some of the children even held a few. We went exploring and found several snakes in and around a creek. Ribbonsnakes, Broad-Banded water snakes, and a Plain-Bellied water snake. I was just as excited to see and hold Steve’s buttermilk racer lol!
They all received snake coloring sheets, a few snake info handouts, along with a brand new Peterson’s Field Guide book of Reptiles and Amphibians, I donated to them in order to help their learning journey. Thank you again for coming, Steven! Great work being done at Wild Roots Forest School in Lafayette, Brandy!!
