Please join Jay Kaplan for a personal, up-close look at a variety of live snake species (no venomous ones!), their adaptations, habitats, and habits. Unless they are shedding, Bella the Rosy Boa and Monty, the Nature Center’s largest Ball Python, will make a special appearance. Time will also be given to discussion of the future of snakes in our changing world.
