Meet Lucy, Animal Ambassador

Last Updated 4/11/2024Posted in Ambassadors, Homepage


Lucy is our longest standing animal ambassador! Having arrived in March of 2013, she is our first snake at the Ranch and she has been a part of the Ranch since before our education building was built.

Lucy has been an integral part of our education programs since the beginning. Teaching individuals all about snakes - how to properly care for them, their unique adaptations and the important roles they play in the environment.

Choosing to spend her days tucked into a corner (Ball Pythons are quite a reclusive species), Lucy does enjoy a nice soak in her water dish and she will become especially active when her enclosure is being cleaned and sprayed with warm water. She is a curious snake and environmental enrichment is one of the best ways to make sure she stays active and healthy.

Next time you visit the Ranch, be sure to look for her in our lobby!
