notes below I would love to show you a video of what this critter actually looks like.

So with your parents, click on that link so you can see exactly what he looks like.

It was a beautiful day in the prairie.

All the grasses were blowing in the breeze, the sun was out,

and Finn the fox was on his way out to the woodlands. He just finished a huge lunch and was ready for some hard training.

You know Fox snakes, they're actually one type of rat snake.

Their bodies are light brown with black splotches all over them.

You see grown snakes measure three to six feet long and they feast on anything from

mice to rats, eggs, even rabbits. Do you think a fox snake is venomous?

Well, if you said no, you're right!
