We’re slithering in to the Herpetarium to learn from Keeper Charlie how to identify venomous snakes found in the area! 🐍🔍 If you’re ever bitten by a venomous snake, stay calm and head to the hospital. There’s no need to identify or bring the snake with you. Local venomous species are all treated with the same antivenom. Bites are very rare, and it’s even rarer for them to be fatal. Remember: snakes want to avoid you just as much as you want to avoid them! Give them space, and they won’t harm you. It’s also illegal to kill any reptile in Tennessee, including venomous snakes. #memphiszoo #snakeweek2025 #snake #venomous #snakes
