Red Rat / Corn Snake Scale Tactile Disk is a durable, high-touch exhibit element designed for indoor or outdoor use in museums, nature centers, parks, and hands-on learning stations. This UV-sealed textured disk captures the feel of corn snake scale texture in a simple, touchable format—built to withstand frequent handling in busy public spaces while staying easy to clean and maintain.
Interpretively, it’s a great way to teach what snake scales actually feel like (not slimy), how scales help with protection and movement, and how different textures can vary across species. Pair it with a reading rail or wayside to support accessible learning, add a “compare-and-contrast” station with other tactile disks, or use it alongside graphics about local snake identification, camouflage, and the snake’s role as a rodent controller in the ecosystem.
