Laurel, the garter snake obtained serious injuries when she was caught by both a cat, and a glue trap while eating slugs in someone's garden. A local snake removal helped get her free of the glue and rehabilitated her for many months before she came to us.

Garter snakes are one of the most common snakes found in the Bay Area, so they are an important part of our animal ambassador team teaching students about our neighborhood snakes.

It's Save The Frogs Day!

With one third of amphibians threatened with extinction, and less than 3% of all conservation funding going to them, they need all the help they can get! Here are some tips on how to support amphibians in your yard: https://www.thingsthatcreep.org/natures-neighbor/2025/2/7/creating-a-salamander-garden

Pictures are a few frogs and toads we helped off the road this past winter. 🌧️ (Toads are a type of frog!)
