76 | A New Reptile Conservation Center at Riverbanks Zoo

Dr. Jenkins sits down with Sean Foley, Curator of Herpetology at
Riverbanks Zoo and Garden. They talk about career trajectories in
the zoo field and then give an introduction to Riverbanks. They
spend time talking about the new Darnell W and Susan F Boyd
Aquarium and Reptile Conservation Center at the zoo including
going through many exhibits and a wide range of species from
anacondas to timber rattlesnakes. Riverbanks works on a wide
variety of conservation projects but has a special focus on the
conservation of local amphibians. They discuss Riverbanks
involvement in Gopher Frog conservation in South Carolina.
