Snakes 101

When we visited the Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center last week I noticed that they have Nature Nights every Thursday in July. This week the subject was snakes, and Heather loves snakes, so off we went. The parking lot was packed so we had to park on the La Crosse cul-de-sac. After a short walk, we arrived at the center and paid our buck.



We caught the 8pm presentation in the auditorium. Snake expert Dr. Travis LaDuc gave a great talk and brought along a few of his scaly friends. Travis is the Assistant Curator of Herpetology at the Texas Natural History Museum at U.T. and his love of snakes was infectious. We are looking forward to visiting the university museum now to see more. Next week, the Nature Nights at the Wildflower Center will have a presentation on birds of prey.
