UNTAMED Episode 106: Snakes

Episode Six of UNTAMED features snakes – a family of wild animals that invoke fear in many people. During this episode, Center staff members highlight the beauty and mystery of snakes and encourage others to foster a respect for this highly misunderstood group of animals. Common causes of admission and injury are highlighted, and host Ed Clark gives viewers several ways to help our wild snake neighbors.

"It's encouraging to talk with receptive homeowners about the benefits of having snakes in nature ... we're not going to be able to convince everyone to love snakes as much as we do here at the Wildlife Center, but we hope to provide enough education to foster a tolerance for these species." -- Maggie McCartney, Wildlife Center of Virginia
