“Snakes of Central Texas”

Thom Marshall (Ecology, Evolution, and Behavior Graduate Program)

Have you always wondered what kind of snakes you see in your backyard or at the greenbelt? Join us for a discussion about the snakes of Central Texas! We’ll discuss basic facts about snakes, the important roles they play in ecosystems, as well as how to identify common snakes in our area.

Science Under the Stars has gone virtual! This semester all SUTS activities will be online, but they encourage you to participate outdoors under the stars in your backyard! (If wifi allows for it, of course.)

Here’s the schedule for this month’s event:

• March 4th: Links to the kids activities and live online lecture/Q&A will be posted here and as an event on the Science Under the Stars Facebook page.
• March 11th, 7:00pm CST: Live online lecture and Q&A with the speaker!
