What would Indiana Jones say?
Posted by Colleen NoyesThe recent warm weather in Connecticut has confused some of the reptilian creatures. Normally at this time of year, cold blooded snakes are hibernating. But the sustained recent temps in the 70’s lured at least one little Garter snake out of its slumber. As Indiana Jones would say “I hate snakes”, but luckily these creatures are not that interested in us and in fact might speak highly of the human mammal (if we could speak snake). Sadly, the young snake did not survive, but 5th and 6th graders were able to examine it and discuss why the snake came out of its hibernation. Snakes are an important part of their ecosystem and contribute to the lush biodiversity that nature shares with us. We are left with questions and opportunities for learning. Thank you little snake.
