Can you stand just a little more on Mr. Snake? I'm still not over my fascination! And I'll throw in some education for you....

Mr. Snake is a reptile:

Mr. Snake is still young. He's about 4 years old and will get MUCH bigger. "The eastern indigo snake (Drymarchon corais couperi) is the largest nonvenomous snake in North America. Individuals up to 104in (263cm) have been measured." That's 8.67 FEET.

"The young are lighter in color and have a faint banded pattern."
But Mr. Snake looks darker than he should:
And that's because he's about to shed, said the Nice Lady (who's name I cannot remember).

Speaking of reptiles, 
as an added bonus you can see one way to tell the difference between an alligator and a crocodile:Can you tell which would be the alligator and which would be the crocodile?
Here's a hint; "Never smile at a crocodile..."

That would be the 'gator on the left.
And the toothy grin on the right?
That would be the crocodile.

Class dismissed.
