Coral Baskins
Milk Snake (Lampropeltis triangulum)
Coral Baskins wears the classic tricolor banding that makes Milk Snakes famous - bold rings of red, black, and white (or yellow) that mimic venomous coral snakes. This harmless mimic is perfect for teaching about the wonders of defensive mimicry in nature. Her name is a playful nod to a certain famous cat enthusiast, but there's nothing suspicious about this snake!
