We thought these two gopher snakes were mating, but it turned out to be just our dirty minds. After some scientists among our Instagram following commented that this looked more like two males, we shared the video with UCSB Prof. Sam Sweet, who has more focused experience with local reptiles (our curator is a generalist, who—as noted in our previous post—has to do duty on all vertebrates, from the tiniest frogs to the largest whales).

GOPHER SNAKES VS. RATTLESNAKES: It’s getting warmer outside which means many animals, including snakes, will become much more active. Snakes are so beneficial to our environment and it’s important to treat them with respect. They “pay rent” by consuming lots of rodents; even their presence may keep pests away.

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. If you spot one, give it space and let it keep doing its important job in the ecosystem! #GopherSnake #WildlifeEducation
