In July, I took kingsnake.com to Reptile Gardens in South Dakota. It was an amazing experience and one I actually learned quite a bit about venomous handling on. Terry Phillip, previous chat guest and curator, rolled out the red carpet for us and now I can not wait to go again.
One of the more exciting things Terry did was start to get me hands on venomous handling experience. We took video of me learning to work with the Timber Rattlesnake, as that is one of two Wisconsin native venomous snakes. Hope you enjoy and be kind. I am a newbie with hots.
