Can a snake be both venomous AND poisonous AND harmless to humans? Yes, actually! 😁 Meet Virginia's State Snake: The Eastern Garter Snake! (Thamnophis sirtalis sirtalis) They serve the ecosystem as important predators AND prey, like all snakes. They eat toads, worms, frogs, salamanders, slugs, small rodents, soft-bodied insects, minnows, and really whatever else small prey they can catch. Garter snakes are easy pickings for herons, hawks, large frogs, and anything else that can catch them. 🍎 V

Yesterday, we admitted a Copperhead from Charlottesville that was caught in landscape netting. Helping venomous snakes can be challenging, but our team went through venomous snake training for just these occasions! Watch our Veterinary Research Fellow Dr. Olivia and Rehab Team Lead Mac work to free the snake! Fortunately, it was not injured and we were able to release it that same day. | Wildlife Center of Virginia

Meet your new favorite Virginia Native snake: The Eastern Wormsnake! (Carphophis amoenus amoenus) 🪱🐍❤️ When the rescuer called us about this tiny snake, we knew that it would be small--Wormsnakes only reach a maximum of about 10-12 inches! However, when this 3in long BABY Wormsnake showed up at our front door, we couldn't believe how TINY this little reptile was! 🤯 Despite their tiny size, this little snake is completely capable of surviving on their own. Wormsnakes lay clutches of 1-4 tiny e

What's in a name? That which we call a Racer By any other name would zoom as fast! 🌹 Like all snakes, the non-venomous Northern Racer is a misunderstood and wrongfully maligned animal. Some of these misconceptions arise from their name, itself! For example, their Latin name, "Coluber constrictor," is misleading because this species is NOT a constrictor at all! Racers are the greyhounds of the snake world, using their large eyes and keen sense of smell to track down their prey. Once in their lin
