Rat Snakes!!!
Daniel Parker from Sunshine Serpents will be doing a Powerpoint presentation on "North American Rat Snakes - Natural History and Captive Care". Daniel facilitates educational programs all over Florida for schools and civic groups. Be sure to learn more about this most popular of herp species from Daniel.
The following is a description of this specific presentation from his website: "With a new emphasis on snakes that make good display subjects, rat snakes of the species Elaphe obsoleta have experienced a recent surge in popularity in the specialty pet trade. This species is one of our long term specialties at Sunshine Serpents. We have bred all of the subspecies and worked with many different morphs and localities. Daniel Parker has also caught and photographed all of the subspecies and many geographic variants in the wild. In this presentation, we discuss techniques for keeping and breeding these snakes in captivity. We also discuss the habits and habitats of wild rat snakes and how to find them. This program includes powerpoint and runs around one hour.
