  • who is the hot girl in the orange hat

  • @SSJ2Starscream That is one of our old interns, who now works at a zoo in the midwest.

  • wondering why u r doing this in outdoor?

  • @zaheercy The indoor area was too small for the public to watch- we now have a larger area inside so we do not typically take them out any more. This is a pretty old video.

  • how old where you when you first got intreasted in snakes and other reptiles and how did get involved in your line of work?

  • @theopat1999 Jim was 6 or so when he first got interested, he got a job extracting from king cobras when he graduated from high school. He was working for a researcher at a university.

  • @zeruttin31  First off just because your friend did not like that she was corrected when she miss ID a snake in a video does not make use a circus. If you work in a Lab with venom then you know we collect venom for research and have been doing so for over 30 years. We ship venom all over the world and have been featured on NGO TV , AP and PBS.

  • @afnedlrleewr At least I know the difference between your and you're.
