We tried to take the kids to a local putt-putt place for a Saturday afternoon outing. When that didn’t quite work out as planned, we found ourselves at the Snake Farm instead. I’m not really a fan of snakes but today we were in for a treat. We just happened to get there at the exact moment one of the rat snakes decided to shed. We were able to see the entire process from start to finish. I think I was more fascinated than the kids but we all had fun.
 The head is near the front of the cage just beginning to shed. |
 Dalton and I watching intently. Addie had already lost interest. |
 It was interesting to watch how calculated his moves were in, up, down and through different obstacles in his tank to help with the shedding process. |
 He’s using the grasses in his tank to help him shed his skin. |
 We stopped by to check on him one last time before we left for the day and he was all done! The entire process took less than 2 hours! |
In the meantime, we did check out a few of the other animals…
 Feeding the goats but don’t let them fool you….they just really want the bag. |
 We were checking out the piglets in the pin only to turn around and find a goat’s bottom staring at us. It’s amazing the balance such an odd looking animal can have! |
 Addie loved the peacocks! |
 These cats had a field day “hunting” the kids as they ran back and forth taunting them. |
 We found Pumba! |
 Addie was certain she was going to catch a duck, or a chicken, or a peacock….unfortunately, she never did. |
We all enjoyed our unplanned afternoon at the Snake Farm!
