Snakes are surprising!

from Science Brew · host Luis Chavarria - Astronomer

In this episode, I have a lively chat with Dr. Steve Heulett, the Dean of Arts & Sciences at A-B Tech, about the fascinating world of snakes. These often misunderstood critters are truly amazing! We slither into their crucial role in the ecosystem, reveal their sneaky hunting techniques, and share some fun tips on how to make sure surprise snake encounters are safe and enjoyable, if possible! Plus, we talk about the most common venomous snakes in North Carolina. Join us for a fun and enlightening discussion that will (or may) change the way you think about snakes!
