I've been at the Museum sooooo long - almost as long as Erin's been alive. I do a little bit of everything as part of my job: care for the animals, work with the keepers and other staff, spend time with guests. Lucky me!
I spend a lot of time behind-the-scenes, or here after hours, but if you really want to see me, I am often in the bear yard scooping poop Thursday mornings.

Pine Snake breeding

January 23rd, 2012

We’re going to be trying to breed Northern pine snakes this spring.

We have males and Dan Nicholas Park in Salisbury NC has a female.

I’m sure Mikey will write more about the process so look for that coming up. In the meantime, here’s a photo of the female that will be making her way to us in March.   

She’s about 6 feet long. She’s being held by Mike Lambert, one of her human caregivers.

Join the conversation:

  1. She’s pretty! Will you put them together on exhibit or will this happen in the reptile room?

    The breeding will happen behind-the-scenes, however our male will go back on exhibit sometime in March (after winter “hibernation” is complete and after mating with the female).
