Did you know it’s World Snake Day on 16th July? We invite you to slither on down to join
the party, meet our snake experts and enjoy lots of fun snake-themed activities.
Humans often fear what they don’t understand. To most, snakes are a mystery. Snakes
rely on their ability to avoid detection, so we rarely see them. This leads to a void of
direct knowledge that’s filled by myth and media – portraying snakes as cold-blooded
killers and focusing on how dangerous some can be. Our aim is to tip the scales (excuse
the pun), educate and encourage guests to confront their fears.
During the event, there’ll be Zoo Chats – guests can get up close to, even touch, several
snake species. At 10:30 am, guests can watch the zoo’s largest snake resident – a
reticulated python – being weighed and measured. At midday, guests can venture over to
The Swamp to see and learn about recently hatched Grey-banded Kingsnake and
Jamaican Boa babies.
Though threatened by many of the same issues affecting other wildlife, including habitat
loss, climate change and disease, negative attitudes impeding efforts to address other
threats may be the biggest barrier to snake conservation.
In the United States, for example, public outcry based on fear and misinformation
recently halted a scientifically sound conservation plan for timber rattlesnakes. Another
project at the same location that involved releasing eagles was embraced by the
community. Rattlesnakes are no less important than eagles. In fact, they may help
reduce the incidence of Lyme disease, which affects thousands of people each year, by
reducing the number of rodents that harbour this disease. But emotions override facts, it
seems, where snakes are concerned.
Snakes play an integral role in maintaining balance in the ecosystem – in most

ecosystems on earth, snakes can be both predator and prey. When a large prey-
population attracts and sustains a large snake population, those snakes become prey for
birds, mammals and even other snakes! As predators, snakes keep prey-populations in
balance. Snakes provide an easy, environmentally friendly, free
and natural pest-control service.
But snakes are worth saving not because of what they can do for us, but because of
who they are. Snakes share many behaviours with us, behaviours we value. They have
friends. They take care of their kids and even their friends’ kids too.
