March 15th, General Meeting. Ed Bielik will speak on "New World Rat Snakes"

Going to try this again! Since we had to cancel the meeting due to weather last February Ed has been kind enough to reschedule for the May meeting. See below for details and see you there!

Ed will be giving an informative talk on these fascinating snakes and their natural history and habits. New World rat snakes include the well known rat and corn snakes indigenous to the United States along with the western fox snake pictured below. Ed is encouraging anyone who keeps these snakes to bring one to the meeting this Sunday. It is always fun to see live snakes!

For anyone interested in reading how Old World rat snakes dispersed to the New World here is a link to an interesting article on the subject.
