Meet Stryker the California Kingsnake - July 29, 2020
IMPORTANT NOTE: In this video Melissa and Alison discuss how to tell a venomous snake from a nonvenomous snake
based on the shape of the snake's head (diamond-shaped for venomous) and the shape of the snake's pupils
(slit-shaped for venomous). This is true of pit vipers (like rattlesnakes) but it is NOT true of all venomous snakes.
The Coral Snake is an obvious exception. Learn more about Coral Snakes (which are amazing animals!) here.
