SnakeSex


Annie has a mature female Corn Snake, and another homeschooler in the area has a male. So we've entered into research and dialog about breeding them. We have read all about snakes and how they breed. It's very interesting! We brought "Cutie' into the local vivarium and had her sexed, and talked to them about the risks and rewards of Corn snake breeding.
So our first project has been to create a flyer to pass out at all of our homeschool events so that we can get an idea of how many kids might want a snake, before we consider it further. Annie found out that a clutch can be 10-20, or double in rare instances. So we've outlined what it takes to care for a snake, including expenses, and now we will distribute our flyers next week at Perpetual Recess.
