Snake Awareness Day -May 14
Monday, May 14 has been designated Snake Awareness Day! For all you Facebookies, please visit, like and share the Snake Awareness Day for your area (and Illinois too, please)! If you still cannot find your state, let me know and I will get it added.
Snake Awareness Day has been created as a day to educate and share our passion for snakes with the public. Schools, libraries, malls, social groups, parties, all are examples of opportunities we have to let the public know how awesome these creatures are, and maybe, just maybe we can avoid any more ridiculous bans!
I know when I mentioned this in the past, a number of you let us know what you're already doing to increase awareness. You're all amazing! Now, we can all band together on one day for the future of our hobby.
Thanks for reading, and hopefully taking action.
P.S. To my friends around the world, Take charge, spread the word, educate and celebrate with us on May 14.
Thanks for reading!

Re: Snake Awareness Day -May 14
I think this is great, and I really hope it will take off. Yesterday I started the Snake Awareness Day - Oregon Facebook page (linked in my signature), and my local herp group is working on gathering ideas for what we can do within our own community. I really hope this takes off. Please spread the word!

Yes you can! Please do! Visit SnakeAwarenessDay for details on how to do it. It has to be done front a PC though. You can't do it from a Smartphone. If you have any trouble, shoot me a message on the Illinois page (The one with the pretty red Rainbow Boa) and I'll help you.
Thanks for your interest and tell all your friends! Not just the ones that like snakes....all of them!!

No worries. You can still help by liking and sharing the page. Then keep an eye out for any updates or anything. Then, on May 14, join in and help us show the public how awesome our animals are!

Re: Snake Awareness Day -May 14
I'd like to see everyone's thoughts on this, please. What educational wisdom do you feel is important to share with your audiences on Snake Awareness Day? Remember, this is going to be mostly kids, so I'm not sure how deeply we should get into husbandry, etc..

Re: Snake Awareness Day -May 14
You should make the Nebraska page for me, it won't let me do it (or I can't figure it out) for some reason.
I thought I already posted in this thread too? What happened?

No problem Kyle. I'll work on it today. PM me with what you would like as your "About" and Mission Statement. You can also send me a pic to use as your avatar.

Re: Snake Awareness Day -May 14
Maybe I'll walk around the creek with one of my guys and enjoy the sun for a bit. People always walking by, I'm sure would love to ask questions. They do when I catch a tiny little garter lol. I just don't want to deal with any bylaw officers or anything... is there any proof I can provide that its snake awareness day?? Lol, I can't wait! Caylan.s
