Happy World Snake Day from Reptile Encounters! Snakes are often the most feared out of all of the reptiles. Did you know that the name for fear of snakes is called ophidiophobia? We hope that with our educational outreach programs that we can help people with their fears, provide knowledge and education so that we can peacefully coexist with these awesome creatures. Snakes have quite a few benefits. They keep the rodent population down which in turn keeps the tick population down. Also, there has been research that snake venom has been used to help with killing cancer cells! If you'd like to have us at your next event, message or call us for rates and availability! 🐢🐊🦎🐍❤️
