Snake Encounters
Recent Boy Scout show

Bringing over 20 years of experience and a generous helping of humor into the nature education arena, with a heavy emphasis on dispelling myths and helping the public conquer this learned and often paralyzing phobia.  Thousands of audience members have overcome the conditioned and unnecessary fear of snakes through safe and entertaining interaction with beautiful animals that are accustomed to live perfomances and human contact.
