Southwest Virginia is home to only two venomous snakes. Who are they and what about the other sneaky neighbors slithering around?

You can join us on the deck of the Discovery Center to have a chat about the snakes that reside within the park and how to ID them. Though they make many people uneasy, they are exciting animals to learn about and they do a huge favor for us.
