Udon and Lou here to sssay Happy Lunar New Year! 🐍✨

DYK this is the Year of the Snake? These slithery superstars represent wisdom, intuition, and major transformation! Just like Udon here (our gorgeous red cornsnake!), snakes are constantly shedding their old selves and embracing new growth. You can even tell when Udon's about to shed – his eyes turn a cloudy blue! It's like nature's way of saying "new year, new me!"

Snakes are essential to our ecosystems. They're the ultimate rodent patrol, keeping things balanced and healthy. Plus, they're just fascinating! With over 3,000 species worldwide (and 150 right here in North America!), there's so much to discover.

Kendji is in his element! ❄️

Red pandas are well adapted for cold and snowy weather! (They actually prefer it!) Their multi-layered “winter coat” and long fluffy tail help keep them warm during these colder months.
