1 Teacher Tips Before you visit Ask your students what they know about snakes. Try to dispel the myth that all snakes are dangerous. Many children know about boa constrictors, cobras, and anacondas, but try to focus the discussion on snakes of the United States. To see what species of snakes can be found in the mid-atlantic region, go to click on the Reptile category under Field Guides, select Snakes, and then select Mid-Atlantic from the region dropdown menu. Another great online resource is the Virginia Snake Identification Guide at There are two pre-program activities to choose from. One is for first and second grade students and the second activity is for third-fifth grade. Please choose one of the activities to acquaint your students with snakes. Depending on the season of your field trip and your personal schedule, your activities may vary. During your visit Students will discuss the characteristics of a snake, learn about the differences between venomous and non-venomous snakes of Virginia, and identify common native snakes. Students can feel shed snake skin as well as pet Matilda, our black rat snake. We will practice appropriate snake behavior on our walk around the Arboretum to look for snakes. After you visit Be sure to engage your students in the post-program activity that we have provided, by doing so you will increase your students retention of knowledge and experience at Blandy Experimental Farm.
