67 | Midget Faded Rattlesnakes with Dr. Josh Parker

Dr. Jenkins sits down with Dr. Josh Parker to talk about one the
most fascinating rattlesnakes, the Midget Faded Rattlesnake. Josh
has an interesting life story - he overcame a fear of snakes and
has never looked back, building a career and life around keeping
and studying these amazing animals. They discuss this relatively
small and obscure rattlesnake’s natural history covering
distribution, movement, habitat, diet, venom and much more. They
also spend quite a bit of time discussing Josh’s long-term
research in Wyoming and Colorado. Finally, they talk about two
threats to the species, collection and energy development.
