Episode notes

Dr. David Steen is a herpetologist and wildlife ecologist with the Wildlife Foundation. He says snakes have figured out ways to get by without their limbs, but they're still very dangerous. Before you get a pet, ask lots of questions about how much care it will take; stuffed animals are also good options.
