• Ellen Trout Zoo - Lufkin Exhibit

Spring and summer is a time for gardening and enjoying the outdoors, but it also is a time that we see more snakes and snake bites.
Nationally over 7000 people are bitten by venomous snakes each year.  Please join Huntsville Memorial Hospital and a panel of snake experts for a discussion on venomous snake bites, including the rattlesnake, copperhead, cottonmouth, and coral snake.  The panel of experts will discuss how quickly snakes can strike, how to avoid being bitten, myths/misconceptions on what to do if you are bitten, and first aid techniques.  Bring a friend and plan to join us for this informative session!
