The truck got a bit of attention today at the Snake Bite course.

The truck got a bit of attention today at the Snake Bite course. This truck is an educational item. My friend Mark O’Shea, one of the ultimate Herp people I’ve ever met. Has done a 26 minute program about every snake this on this truck. The truck has speakers underneath. And the recording is in a loop. So anywhere we park the truck we just let it play and people can be educated without us not even being involved. I want to thank Mark O’Shea so much for doing such a professional job. There’s people being educated and learning anywhere it’s parked!

Stopped in on a show today in Manila.

Introducing the Midwest Tongs Educational Talking Truck. This is a project I have been thinking about for years, then the combination of vehicle-wrap advertising and the pandemic lockdown gave me the opportunity I needed to work out all the details. At Midwest Tongs, our goal has always been to produce the best quality snake and animal handling equipment, but I've always felt it would be a good idea to have something where people could see the name of a snake and match it up to the pattern and see what they really look like, so that if they come across a snake near their home or at the lake, for instance, they will know if it is venomous and hopefully can avoid it. The copperhead is the one I’m asked about the most in the Kansas City area, but what do they look like? We’ve got it on our truck, along with 10 other venomous snakes found in the US and in other areas around the world. In addition to the photos, I asked my friend Mark O’Shea if he would narrate the species that are on our truck, and as usual, he did an exceptional job of creating a 26 minute audio educational program, broken down by species into small audio clips, discussing details of the 11 snakes shown on the truck plus some other helpful snakebite information. If you are unfamiliar with Mark O'Shea, he is an English herpetologist, photographer, author, lecturer, and is known internationally as the presenter of the Animal Planet/Discovery Channel series O'Shea's Big Adventure, and we have been friends for over 25 years. So by combining the photos and names of snakes with the audio recordings of Mark O'Shea giving descriptions and details, we have created an opportunity for people to educate themselves and their children whenever they see the truck parked. If you see this truck parked, and you’re interested in learning about snakes or snakebite, just walk around it and you should be able to hear Mark O’Shea narrating details about the specific snakes and snakebite information,
