CityNews Kitchener, in partnership with the Kitchener-Waterloo & Stratford Perth Humane Society, brings you a regular feature highlighting a special pet that is in need of adoption.
*************************
Loo
Hello there! This is Loo. He is a 6-year-old male snake. Loo likes to cruise in his enclosure and check out his surroundings when no one is watching. It will take a bit of time and patience for him to get used to being out of his enclosure, as he is a bit of a shy guy. Are you looking for a noodle friend? If so, put in an application for Loo!
Fun Fact: Early European settlers encountered this North American species in their cornfields and corn cribs, concluding that it was eating their corn. The truth is that the snakes were actually doing those farmers a favour by eating the rodents that would otherwise be feasting on the corn. The name ‘corn snake’ stuck!
