SUMMARY: In this month’s “Blake’s Zoo Adventures,” we explore the Hattiesburg Zoo and meet Cal, a Calabar boa. Known for its unique dual-headed appearance, this burrowing snake primarily resides in African jungles, where it blends into foliage. Cal primarily feeds on baby rodents, using a constricting method suited for tight spaces. Contrary to common belief, snakes feel smooth rather than slimy. They require specific care, including heat and lighting, and are generally non-aggressive. Their main defense mechanism is to hide or curl into a ball, drawing attention to their tail to protect their head. Stephanie provides insights into caring for these misunderstood creatures.
