Maize

This is Maize, a Miami corn snake that we are "snake-sitting" at the nature center. She's just a few years old, and is similar to Gator, our Red Rat Snake, but is smaller and has lighter, orange markings. Her (human) Dad has one more semester to teach up in Ohio before retiring here on Amelia. Visitors to the nature center enjoy seeing this sweet girl, and we enjoy spending time with her too. She's a good house guest, which for a snake means she's not messy and is eating and shedding regularly. We will miss her in December when she leaves, but I'm sure something else will come along then.
