These trees are ready to go home with someone during our Plant Sale this Saturday. "This week snake portraits because snakes are people too. Well more like reptiles 😁🐍. They sometimes get a bum rap because most species are non- venemous. They really just want to eat things bigger than themselves because it looks cool when they digest them, and there's the neat feat of moulting, awesome to be able to shed your skin when it gets crepey " 😊 #snake #texasdiscoverygardens #albinosnake #fairpark #dallas #nature #naturepic Went on a mini adventure today to see some nature :) #texasnature #texasssnakes #botanicalgardens #butterflies #snakes #spiders #nature #texasdiscoverygardens
