Jason Clark is the Founder and Director of Southeastern Reptile Rescue, an organization dedicated to reptile conservation, public safety, and responsible wildlife management. While facilitating the placement of unwanted pet reptiles is one aspect of his work, his professional focus extends far beyond animal relocation.
For more than 30 years, Jason has responded to snake removal requests originating from 911 dispatch centers throughout the State of Georgia. He is a certified Master Naturalist through the University of Georgia and serves as a licensed Alligator Agent Trapper, assisting law enforcement agencies with the capture and removal of nuisance alligators.
A former law enforcement officer, Jason now provides contracted training services to state and federal agencies, specializing in venomous snake handling and alligator capture techniques. Over the past 24 years, multiple state and federal law enforcement organizations have relied on his expertise to identify, safely collect, and maintain seized reptiles as evidentiary assets.
For more than a decade, Jason has collaborated with dog owners and professional trainers through his Snake School program, which conditions dogs to avoid snakes through scent and visual recognition—helping prevent potentially fatal snake encounters. His work has included training with search-and-rescue dogs, law enforcement K9 units, as well as Homeland Security.
Jason is also widely recognized for his public education programs, delivering between 200 and 300 live presentations annually. He has been featured in his own television series on Animal Planet and has appeared on National Geographic, Discovery Channel, and Netflix, as well as in national commercial campaigns and feature films.
He currently produces the YouTube channel SnakesAreUsTV and hosts the weekly SnakesAreUsTV Podcast, available across major podcast platforms.
