What is the Venomous Snake Research Center?
The Venomous Snake Research Center is a collaboration of many Herpetologists, Herpetoculturists, Scientists, Ecologists and Hobbyists who have shared years of study, hard work and a love of exotic animals of many species. We have a wide research interest and study range, from venomous reptile behavior, population genetics, taxonomy, venom function, reptile paleontology, to even human-reptile interactions in anthropology, psychology and cultural advancement. Our research in based primarily with North American venomous species, with interest in future venomous reptile research projects in South America and Asia. We are currently doing noninvasive research on North American reptile behavior both in captivity and in the wild in conjunction with our ongoing research of human-reptile interactions in anthropology, psychology and cultural advancement. Research can be very costly and time consuming which limits us on research projects per year.
We are currently providing; lectures for Schools, Hospitals and professional organizations on venomous reptiles, rescue and rehabilitation of reptiles, and snakes, as well as "wrangling" for documentaries, film and photographers.
Our hope is that our lectures and public displays will help 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.
