Slinky, Scaly Snakes! | Jennifer A Dussling

I see this book used in my classroom as a read aloud story to talk about and discuss snakes. I think this book could also fit into social emotional topics because most people feel very strongly about snakes, but they actually do a lot for our environment. This could help students to see that even if there is something they dislike, it could still be beneficial to them.

Nonfiction- Jennifer Dussling's “Slinky, Scaly Snakes!“ is a fascinating look at the world of snakes. This is an informative book that explores various snake species, their unique characteristics, and their habitats. From the venomous to the harmless, readers will discover a wealth of information about these often misunderstood creatures. This book includes photographs and the text is very engaging for children.

Hey, Littens—thanks for telling me that it's National Pet Day! Milo isn't eating tonight, so I'm a little concerned about him at the moment. But usually he's cute and cooperative, like in this photo. #NationalPetDay #PetsOfLitsy #ComfortSnake

MrsGagnonreads2024 How old and when did he last eat? I owned 3 snakes in the past 6y
cobwebmoth He's beautiful! 6y

JoyBlue @Endowarrior21 He‘s 1.5 years and ate half of what he should have last Thursday (the rats we have are too small, so we‘ve started feeding two/week, per the instructions of the food provider). I wonder if he‘s getting ready to shed. He‘s not showing signs yet, but maybe all will be illuminated in the next couple days. He goes into blue every 5-7.5 weeks, and it‘s been 6 weeks. Thanks for chiming in. 6y
JoyBlue @cobwebmoth Thank you! 💙 I sure think so. I‘m crazy in love with him! 6y
JoyBlue @8little_paws 😎 6y
Leftcoastzen He‘s pretty cool! 6y
JoyBlue @Leftcoastzen Yes, yes he is! He‘s even got his own Facebook page: Milo, ball python extraordinaire or @MiloZenPython. You‘re both zen! 😉 6y
MrsGagnonreads2024 @JoyBlue it could be that or the fact it becoming breeding season I had my male go a full month off food due to breeding season even with no females around good luck. All my snakes lived very long happy lives my brother now owns my last one due to my hubby being deathly afraid of them plus my niece loves him he is a 10 year old BP btw he is handsome. 6y
JoyBlue @Endowarrior21 Thank you! I‘m hopeful it‘s one of these logical reasons. His habitat is right, and he shows no signs of illness, injury, or infestation, so I‘ll just keep an eye on him and keep loving him. 😉🐍 I‘m sorry you can‘t have your 10-yr-old BP with you. How nice for your niece (and snek) to have each other, though! 💙 6y
JoyBlue @Endowarrior21 Here‘s another question for you. For the last couple/few weeks, Milo has started coming out and periscoping high when DH is in the room, even when he doesn‘t have food with him. [DH doesn‘t play with Milo—he just does feeding.] Have you seen that kind of behavior before? 6y
MrsGagnonreads2024 @JoyBlue yes he is looking to see if your DH has food seeing he associates him and food together they are very smart and recognize patterns and scents so he basically knows your DH scent means food. I always fed mine in a separate bin so they never thought me going by their habitat as food. As long as he is not striking when he is doing it I would not worry. 6y
JoyBlue @Endowarrior21 Thanks for confirming my suspicion. Luckily, no striking at DH. I wish I knew why he *seems* so interested but doesn't actually eat. He'll get hungry eventually! 😉 6y

Since I was away from home and reading all weekend, the munchkin and I spent all day together, half at the zoo and half digging some plastic dinosaurs out of their dirt/sand eggs. We got to hold this little guy and learn quite a bit about animal camouflage!

britt_brooke Sounds like an excellent day! And what a cutie. 💚💚💚 8y
Mariposa_Bookworm Adorable! 8y

Learned a lot about snakes 🐍 while waiting for my 2yr old's well check visit.

These DK Readers books are great. The layout and reading level are spot on.
I don't love the over crowded pages on the big DK books (there are far better nonfiction books out there), but DK is doing it right w these early reader versions.

If you have a 1st-3rd grader who loves nonfiction (a lot of boys love NF) then think about these for a gift.
