I grew up loving snakes, but I also grew up in an area with 0 venomous snakes. Since then I've lived alongside venomous snakes in Kenya, Gabon, and now North Carolina, where I see them on a near-regular basis. 

But guess what? I still love them! The goal of this podcast is to hopefully get you to love them - or like them - or at least live with them. 

In this podcast, I go over:

• My experiences being up close with copperheads and rattlesnakes
• What to do when you see a snake
• Who you can ask to identify a snake
• What to do when you see a venomous snake
• How many people die from snakebites (the answers may surprise you)
• How most people get bit
• Should you kill venomous snakes? 
• Should you relocate a venomous snake? 
• Do moth balls work to deter snakes? 
• And MORE!
