96 | Everything Pygmy Rattlesnakes with Dr. Terry Farrell

Chris discusses Pygmy Rattlesnakes with Dr. Terry Farrell, a
professor at Stetson University in Florida. Drawing on his
extensive 30-year experience in studying the ecology of Pygmy
Rattlesnakes, Dr. Farrell shares information about this common
yet understudied snake. Their conversation encompasses various
aspects of natural history, including habitat, diet, movements,
venom, and more. Additionally, they talk about long-term
population monitoring in Florida. Dr. Farrell also shares his
personal experience, detailing how his prolonged interaction with
the snakes led to the development of a sensitivity and allergy to
their venom.
