We all had fun Tuesday when Mary McCroan presented about the benefits snakes provide in our garden, and she was kind enough to bring a small worm snake as a demonstration. What neither she nor we knew at the time was that the worm snake she held up for us to see was great with baby worm snakes!
Here’s what Mary said about it on Facebook:
Last Tuesday I gave a presentation on snakes to my Master Gardener Group. A visual aid was a worm snake I’d found while planting a tree on my property. They live under the mulch and even underground when it gets too hot. I let her go after the presentation. I know that she is a she, because when I checked the terrarium where I’d been keeping her, I found 8 baby worm snakes. Very cool says I.
