Say hello to this tiny gopher snake who recently slithered into our care! 🐍💚 Gopher snakes are non-venomous and completely harmless to humans. In fact, they’re great to have around..they help control rodent populations naturally! Sometimes they get mistaken for rattlesnakes because of their coloring and bluffing behavior, but don’t be fooled..they’re just really good actors.
