The Walden School announced the pet snake’s discovery in an Instagram post and wrote, “We are thrilled to announce that after nearly 3 months, Gummy Worm, the legendary escaped corn snake from Mr. Haupt’s 5th-6th Grade science room, has been found!! 🐍 A big thank you to 6th Grader, Aspen W., for finding the elusive reptile under the science room sink.
According to UPI News, the snake escaped from her terrarium shortly after it was first brought to the school in September.
Corn snakes are one of the most popular choices of snakes that are kept as pets because of their calm temperament.
Since snakes are not as expressive about their anxiety and pain as other pets like cats and dogs, many people are not able to notice illnesses that snakes often develop in closed spaces.
