Medusa - Was captured in South Georgia when she was just a baby in 1998. She was then raised by her owner until she reached a length of about four feet. Medusa's owner then contacted us and asked if we could take her because she was too big for him to handle. Medusa was a very nervous snake when we first got her. Anytime we took her out of her cage she would strike violently at anything that moved and would try her best to get away. She is now close to six feet long and has calmed down considerably and does just fine outside the cage.  

Pinkie - Was owned by a teenager in South Georgia. He decided that he was not invincible and didn't want to die. He gave us Pinkie who has a nice pink color throughout her body. Pinkie was about three feet long and was very dehydrated and malnourished. She is now healthy as an ox is over four feet long.

Igloo - Was brought to us by a man who showed up at one of our educational displays. The man carried a blue igloo cooler and told me he had a rattlesnake inside. Most people would consider this an act of terrorism. Me, I thought it was a nice gift.

Firecracker - As a man in Central Georgia drove down the dirt road to his home, he ran over what appeared to be a piece of trash. He backed up to check it out and found Firecracker. Firecracker is one of only 2 albino timber rattlesnakes ever found in the state of Georgia. Firecracker was about 10" long when he was given to us and was eating day old baby mice. Firecracker is now three feet long and eats small rats.
