| Texas Snakes
and More is located in Houston, Texas and gives snakes the respect
they deserve. Our reptile presentations educate and inform people
about snakes - to dispel myths and misconceptions, and bring about
a greater appreciation for these fascinating creatures.
Texas
snakes are plentiful, beautiful and exciting to watch, capture and
handle, if you love snakes the way we do. If you don't, there's
still plenty to learn and respect. The venomous snakes found in
the US are the rattlesnake,
cottonmouth, copperhead and coral snake, and they all live in Texas,
along with over 100 species and subspecies of non-venomous snakes.
Identifying
the difference between venomous and non-venomous snakes on sight
is essential to safety, peace of mind and field collecting. If you
know how to identify the four venomous snakes, you can know which
snake is venomous or non-venomous, thereby enabling yourself to
have an immediate plan of action.
For
the field collector, properly containing and handling a snake, without
injury to the snake or collector, is determined by the species of
snake, location and equipment. For the novice or photographer, knowing
the difference between a venomous and non-venomous snake determines
approach, distance (a zoom comes in real handy with a 5' Western
Diamondback Rattlesnake) if a second person is needed, etc.
Overcoming
phobias is not easy when someone is raised to fear and hate snakes,
but with a little knowledge and some verifiable facts, people can
learn to give snakes the respect that they deserve.
Texas
Snakes & More is about education, field exploration, rescue
(the home owner and the snake), and having fun. Keep coming back
