Snake Awareness Day

[Strutter769]

A couple weeks ago, I started working with Brian Barczyk, the owner of BHB Reptiles in MI and producer of SnakeBytesTV on YouTube, and his good friend Justin Meitz. Justin is the head guy at the Reno Herp Society in NV, and real advocate for the reptile community. Both seem like all-around fun guys.

Their idea is to bring about a National Snake Awareness Day (Date TBD), where members of the community, such as myself, visit schools, libraries, Scout meetings, youth groups, etc.... anyone NOT currently into "exotic" animals, to educate them, to show them a couple snakes, allow them to touch, to ask questions, take pictures, whatever. We're starting to work through Social Media to promote the cause right now.

For those of you with FB access, please find SnakeAwarenessDay, and there you should see the different states listed. If yours is not yet there, you can click on "Create Link" to add your home state, then link it from this main page.

When you find "Snake Awareness Day - Illinois," you'll recognize the lovely spokesmodel is none other than the amazing Andi (Or was it Cici?). Please "Like" my page, leave a comment if you wish, but most importantly, please share!

Feedback is always welcome. I'd like to improve upon my About and Mission Statement, so please, any ideas come to mind, let 'em out!

Thanks everyone.
