Panic who? Not our animals! Our friends are getting cosy in their beds to wait out the storm. 😴

But what about our native species? Massachusetts alone has 14 species of snake 🐍... how do they survive the winter? 🤔
They have been in their own cozy beds! Many of our wild friends will burrow deep in the ground/mud or in dens where they will be able to endure the cold temps thanks to brumation. Unlike hibernation which is a continuous deep sleep, brumation is a state of dormancy where the animal will wake periodically to drink. The random warm days that keep us going sane in the winter? We aren't the only ones who thrive! 🐢🦎🐸

If you are heading to the store (in Salem MA) don't forget to grab a reusable 'give back bag' at the Salem ​Shaws. $1 of each bag sold will be donated to the animals. The program only has one week left.

Most importantly: Stay safe and warm!❄️

🎆We are starting the New Year strong!🎆
Do you live in the Salem MA area? We are partnering with Shaws for their GIVE BACK WHERE IT COUNTS Reusable Bag Program.

💚♻️For the ENTIRE month of January, $1 of every Give Back bag purchased at the Salem MA Shaws will be donated to the animals.
👜 Need to replace some of your reusable bags? Be sure to stop by anytime in January and grab a bag or two!

We are looking forward to 2026 and can't wait to see everyone in the New Year!🦎🐍🐢🐊
