Normally quietly tucked under a warm rock or camouflaging with the moss in her humidity box, Emory broke her routine this morning. She took a lap around her enclosure and eventually started heading up.
Great Plains Rat Snakes are known to be excellent climbers. They climb into shrubs and trees in the wild, perhaps in search of tasty small birds or eggs.
In just a few months, this climber will get an updated home in the new Curiosity Center. We are working with the team at KidZibits to design an enclosure with more vertical space to encourage her natural inclination to get off the ground. I haven’t told Emory yet, but I think she’ll like the new climbing opportunities!
