🐚 Fun Facts About Hermit Crabs 🦀 Do you know that hermit crabs aren’t born with their own shell and they don't have a backbone? True, yet being spineless in the invertebrate world doesn't mean you're weak. Hermit crabs are resourceful and find empty shells to protect their bodies from predators. As they grow, they shed their exoskeletons (outside skeletons) and search for bigger shells to keep themselves safe. Pretty smart.🐚 Bring your family, friends and visitors to the Coastal Discovery Museum and meet hermit crabs and other fascinating marine creatures during Life Under the Sea, on Tuesdays and Thursdays, from 2 to 4 pm, in our air-conditioned Discovery Lab. 🌊 Life Under the Sea is perfect for kids ages 4 and up (must be accompanied by an adult). Admission is $5 per person.

Meet Popcorn, our fabulous corn snake! 🌽 All our snakes at the Coastal Discovery Museum have corny names like Maizey, Cornelia, and Colonel Kobb. Did you know that the corn snake, also known as the red rat snake, is not venomous? 🐍🌽 Our summer interns are doing their part to educate visitors about reptiles at our outdoor Critter Meet and Greet program. Drop in on Mon, Wed and Fri, between 9:30 am - 12:30 pm. $7 per person/ages 4 and up. Corn snakes in the Lowcountry are some of the prettiest and brightest, showcasing a stunning mix of red, orange and brown. They can also have duller, grey tones that resemble a copperhead. While snakes might not be everyone's favorite, both copperheads and corn snakes are essential to our ecosystems. They help control rodent and other small mammal populations and are vital food sources for larger mammals, birds, and even other snakes. Remember, a balanced ecosystem needs snakes, too! 🌿🌞🐍 #CoastalDiscoveryMuseum #HoneyHorn #HHI #LowcountryWildlife #CritterMeetAndGreet #WildlifeConservation #HiltonHeadIsland
