Learn moreElly loves that nature is full of surprises! Every log, leaf, or puddle could be hiding something amazing. She feels calm, confident, and connected out in nature. She loves the sounds of frogs calling, birds chirping, and the thrill of spotting a snake or salamander where no one else thought to look.
Her pet ball python, Banana, is Elly's favorite animal. Elly loves snakes because they're misunderstood, graceful, and amazing hunters. She also loves dragons. To her, snakes are the real-life dragons of the forest, as both are mysterious and captivating.
Herping! Elly loves searching under logs and near ponds to find reptiles and amphibians. She is quick to catch (and release them) and loves to learn about all the native species she can find.
