Jesse and Viola bring frogs and salamanders on live telveision to teach viewers about AMPHIBIAN MIGRATION. Please share this video so people will SLOW DOWN and SAVE A LIFE on rainy Spring nights, when these adorable critters are on the move.
PYTHON BATH TIME! Our reticulated python had trouble shedding, so we gave her a bath. Large snakes love water because it makes them feel lighter, and helps them shed their skin.

SNAKES TAKE OVER THE TELEVISION STUDIO!
Jesse and Kenny brought 8 snakes onto Good Day PA on ABC27 to celebrate THE YEAR OF THE SNAKE in 2025. We tried to play some reptile trivia with the hosts, although the snakes were a little bit distracting ๐๐

A beautiful copperhead crosses a busy trail in front of us, so we helped him across and educated other hikers.
PLEASE DO NOT TRY FEEDING LARGE SNAKES WITHOUT EXPERIENCED SUPERVISION!
Many snakes have a strong feeding response, and reticulated pythons are no exception. They are the longest snakes in the world, and they are always trying to eat and grow. We feed our large constrictors with long tongs for our own safety, because we know they can strike several feet out of their cages. And during a feeding response, their bite is very painful and they will wrap up and constrict anything they bite, which can make the bite worse or potentially even deadly.
In this video, one of our experienced volunteers gets a close look at the strike range of a hungry reticulated python. Tom is about to feed Penny the python when she smells the food, and strikes several feet in Tom's direction. As an experienced reptile handler, Tom knows the risks and enjoys the close encounter. Once the snake takes the frozen/thawed rat, then Tom scoops her back into her cage.
Meanwhile Jesse was on a medical lifting restriction, so he just looked on from a safer distance. Jesse just kept feeding smaller food to smaller snakes, and let Tom do the heavy lifting. We are thankful for our awesome volunteers!
