Activity Center

Meet Ben & Jerry

Ben and Jerry are our Spring creature features! They are native Yellow Rat Snakes and are found throughout the coastal southeast. If you find these guys in your yard, don’t fret! They are a free pest control service: eating all the unwanted critters near your home! You can come see these two love birds at the Activity Center during Feeding Frenzy, every Friday at 12pm!
