Snakes

Travis LaDuc, Ph.D., assistant curator of herpetology for The University of Texas at Austin Texas Natural Science Center will keep you on the edge of your seat as he talks about snakes. Do you know the difference between venomous and non-venomous snakes? Just how do snakes smell and hear? Come and look at live snakes and find out the answers to your questions about snakes at our Snakes Nature Nights. Tim Cole with Austin Reptile Service will be on site with live snakes.
