Many people have ophidiophobia or a fear of snakes for a variety of reasons, which is why we’re offering the brand new SnakeSmart workshop to help you overcome your fear of snakes. You will have the opportunity to gain a better understanding about snakes and their behavior, learn how to react if you encountera snake in the wild, and hopefully come to appreciate these misunderstood reptiles when you learn how they benefit the ecosystem. The snakes and other reptiles that are involved in the SnakeSmart program are not venomous, and you can choose whatever level of interaction you’re comfortable with! Hopefully you when you leave our program you leave with a better understanding of these reptiles and have a less fear of snakes!
