Rattlesnakes Take Over the Reptile Expo

Every year, the Phoenix Reptile Expo seems to be our unofficial “season wrap-up". Bryan, Marissa, Jeff, Jill, and a handful of our relocation and fencing team loaded up all the rattlesnakes from our educational collection, set up the tables, and spent the weekend talking with thousands of people about the wildlife we share our desert with.

In between questions about rattlesnake behavior, safe coexistence, and the usual “what’s the biggest one you’ve ever seen?”, the crew wandered the expo catching up with friends from across the reptile and conservation world. One highlight: visiting Cody Will of Rattlesnake Ranch / Rattlesnake Ready, who is doing a great job with Rattlesnake Aversion Training with Dogs, and education with his vast collection of rattlesnake from across the continent.

Here are his websites and socials, if you want to check them out:

It’s a simple weekend, but it’s one we look forward to every year. A room full of people who care about reptiles, the community that makes this work possible, and the perfect way to close out another year of helping people and snakes stay safe in Arizona.
