Why Snakes are Cool

Sat Jun 20, 2026 10:30 AM - 11:30 AM Weedon Island Preserve Cultural and Natural History Center, 33702

Snakes play important ecological roles as both predator and prey, yet they remain highly misunderstood animals. Florida is home to 46 native species of snakes, and, like all animals, they present little danger when left alone!

🐍Herpetologist and environmental educator George L. Heinrich will dispel snake myths and misunderstandings to teach participants about why snakes are cool!
🐍At the end of the program a selection of live snakes will be available for viewing and handling if participants choose to do so -- and we hope that you will!

💙For adults and youth ages 12+.

The program is graciously sponsored by the Friends of Weedon Island, thank you Friends!💚
