Some people are fascinated by them. Others experience abject fear at the sight of one. The Chinese calendar celebrated them in 2013 as thoughtful, wise and focused on detail. The creature in question- the snake. It is estimated by the American Veterinary Medical Association that over 1 million snakes are kept as pets in the U.S. They are gorgeous, can be a challenge to care for, come with a unique set of health concerns and often a hefty price tag.

My guest is Dr. Elliott Jacobson, professor emeritus at the University Of Florida School Of Veterinary Medicine. He has spent his veterinary career advancing the health and welfare of captive and wild reptile and amphibians.
