The
Venomous Snake Research Center has a wide research interest and study range, from venomous reptile behavior, population genetics,
snakebite epidemiology, taxonomy, venom function, reptile paleontology, to even human-reptile interactions in anthropology,
psychology and cultural advancement. While our research originally started with North American venomous species, our research
has broadened to cover reptiles from all around the world.
Our goal is to educate the public about the importance of reptiles
in nature, human impact on their environment and how to live in harmony with these unique creatures.
