🌍🐍 Happy World Snake Day! 🐍🌍
To celebrate, here are a couple of our favourite snake facts that might just surprise you:
🔍 No eyelids?!
That’s right—snakes can’t blink! Instead, they have a special clear scale that covers and protects their eyes like built-in goggles.
👅 They smell with their tongues
When you see a snake flicking its tongue, it’s actually collecting scent particles and sending them to a special organ (called the Jacobson’s organ) in the roof of its mouth. Nature’s version of a scent radar!
At Snakes Alive, you can meet our amazing snakes up close at events, parties, school visits, group sessions, and workshops. 🐍✨
