Snake Encounters
For an entertaining and educational show punctuated by beautiful live snakes and plenty of laughs!
After many years of doing talks at the Dallas Nature Center, word of mouth grew to the point that Daryl began Snake Encounters in 1993 to address the need for an accessible entity for the general public. It was established with the purpose of providing education on the subject of snakes in a humorous and entertaining way - in order to dispel myths, help audience members overcome the phobia, and to help guide the rapidly growing hobby of informed and responsible herpetoculture. Daryl is fortunate to have a great collection of beautiful, patient animals who meet his strict criteria of docility, gentleness and distinctiveness - ensuring a program filled with wonder at nature's beauty and adaptability.

Master of drama! ๐ Masked by dramatic displays and an 'S' shaped posture, the Copperhead Trinket Snake (Coelognathus radiatus) puts on a fierce show when threatened. Despite the intense attitude, this fast-moving species is completely non-venomous and harmless to humans! ๐ฟ

Did you know? Black Mambas aren't actually black! ๐ Their name comes from the inky-black color inside their mouth, which they display when threatened. Reaching speeds of up to 12 mph, they are one of Africaโs fastest and most highly venomous snakes! ๐ฟ

Stunning but deadly! ๐โก The Western Green Mamba is an arboreal predator known for its rapid speed and highly potent venom. Beautiful to look at, but best appreciated from a safe distance! ๐ฟ๐
