Free and open to the public, the talk is given by Tom Wyant of Los Alamos' Network Engineering Group. Wyant is a volunteer at the Wildlife Center in Sombrillo, N.M. All ages are invited to attend the presentation. Registration is not required.
"As the weather warms up and people turn to the outdoors, they want information to help make their outdoor activities a little safer," said Pat Berger of the museum, part of Los Alamos' Community Relations Office. "By viewing live poisonous and non-poisonous snakes, and listening to Tom's information, the audience will have an opportunity to learn about the natural habitats of snakes as well as snake safety."
The museum is located at 15th Street and Central Avenue in Los Alamos.
