All Snake Killers
Click Here
God has made us different,
he made us so unique.
We slither on the ground,
we have no hands and feet.
Though you find us scary,
or maybe just plain weird,
our intentions are not to hurt you
or cause you such great fear.
Our venom's not meant for humans
but to help us when we eat.
So, please stop the senseless killing
before we're all extinct.
We're not saying you have to love us
or tell us we're the best.
God's the one who created us.
So, treat us with respect.

Fears are educated into us
and can, if we wish,
be educated out.

The snake is an animal.
It has a backbone and a heart.
It has red blood.
It drinks water and eats food.
It breathes air and feels fear
just like every other
animal in the world.
And, it's in a body that's
the hardest thing
for the average
person to understand.

The Snakes of Georgia Encounter |
|
|
Featuring venomous and non-venomous snakes of Georgia including king snakes, rat snakes, corn snakes, coachwhips, black racers, milk snakes, copperheads, cottonmouths and rattlesnakes that are all found right here in our own backyards as well as exotics that may be held for photo ops. Also available are our American alligators.

Participants are given an opportunity to have an upclose and personal encounter with snakes that live right here in their area. They will be bombarded with as much practical information as possible about snakes that will help them better understand this wonderful but often misunderstood creature such as venomous snake identification and how to avoid a bite but what to do if you are bitten. You can tell someone what a copperhead looks like but seeing one live and in person really leaves an impression.
Free pamphlets are made available after each performance which answer many other questions about snakes including venom and how it works, venomous snake identification, mechanics of a rattlesnakes rattle, Guide to a Snake Free Yard and first aid in case of a snake bite as well as snake verses dog bite statistics in the United States.

Southeastern Reptile Rescue was started over 10 years ago in an effort to rescue snakes that had no home or were in danger of being destroyed. To be most effective in our quest, we realized early on that education of Georgia's snakes was the key to making an impact. People by nature are often afraid of what they don't understand and so the snake is perhaps the most hated and misunderstood of all of nature. When we finally get a person to accept a snake and begin to appreciate them as a part of nature then everything else falls into place making it easier for them to appreciate and care for the rest that nature has to offer.

Re: Southeastern Reptile Rescue Presentation
Recently, I had the pleasure of observing a seminar presented by Jason Clark of Southeastern Reptile Rescue to Clayton County Water Authority employees. The information that Mr. Clark shared during this presentation was absolutely awesome. He was able to educate over 100 of CCWA employees who all ranted about how great the session was. Many even expressed the desire to learn more about reptilian creatures and that this was the best presentation they'd ever been to.
The knowledge shared made even the scariest of individuals, chiefly myself, a little less fearful of snakes. I encourage more organizations and the public to attend a seminar from this organization as you are sure to walk away with something to talk about.
Many thanks to Jason and his staff for a job well done!!
