Y'all I need your help. With this Tropical Storm/Hurricane coming, wildlife will likely be greatly impacted by the rain, winds and storm surges. PLEASE SHARE this graphic I made, it also links to our article with Louisiana Sportsman Magazine that goes into more detail.

Snakes WILL be displaced and looking for dry/high land so please message us to relocate and don't kill.

Can you guess which reticulated python slithered through her p**p before I could get her out of her enclosure??? If you guessed Tigress you guessed correctly.

I think she does it on purpose to get a bubble bath 😆

ANSWER TIME!!

For the most part, you guys nailed this one..it's a venomous Northern cottonmouth water moccasin (Agkistrodon piscivorus) eating a bird!

How can we tell it's a cottonmouth you ask? Well, I've included 2 pictures that should help.

1. The dark zorro mask is visible AND the top head scales are visible as well.

2. The pixelated/jagged pattern of a cottonmouth are visible here.

Great job everyone, we will do another one soon.

QUIZ TIME!! Location is Louisiana.

SHARE with your family and friends to see what they guess too!

Answer will be posted tomorrow.

Guys we are doing 2 huge outreach events with the Greater Baton Rouge State Fair and Louisiana Renaissance Festival in October and November and we have a ton of expenses. If anyone has any 10 gallon aquariums (we do need lids and clips) they would be willing to donate that would be huge! We have 4 that currently aren't housing snakes, but we need 8 more and I think 12 lids+clips.

We've been doing lots of free relocations without donations going into our 501c3 non-profit so our funds for the foundation are very low. If you'd like to donate an aquarium or contribute in any way it would be a huge blessing. I'll post a link to help in the comments.
