Meet Garnet the corn snake!

Give a warm Piedmont welcome to our newest Ambassador Animal, Garnet the corn snake!

Garnet came to us in December from BeWild Reptile Rescue in Durham. He was surrendered to BeWild along with two other snakes, all of whom had stunted growth from poor care. He's estimated to be 2-3 years old but is much smaller than he should be at his age.

Captive-bred corn snakes are often considered good "beginner" snakes for new pet owners. But as Garnet's story shows, even "easy" pets require a LOT of specialized care to remain happy and healthy. Always do your research before welcoming a new animal into your family!

See Garnet in action on our latest YouTube Short… then show your support for our new friend by sponsoring him through our Adopt-an-Ambassador program!
