About This Event
At Live@Lanier, naturalist Steve O’Neil will help you decide which of the following, and more, are fact or fiction. Copperhead snakes in the Carolinas will chase hikers. Only two types of turtles can crawl out of their shells. Corn snakes are green and yellow like corn. Some turtles can freeze solid and revive unharmed. Baby venomous snakes have more potent venom than adult snakes. Box turtles do not make good pets even if living in a box at least 4x their size.
During college, Steve studied wildlife and fisheries management, and for over a decade worked as a naturalist and science educator. Positions included The Great Smoky Mountain National Park and Chimney Rock State Park. In 2010, his experiences and passion for nature prompted him to found his non-profit Earthshine Nature Programs. “Reptile Myths, Lore, and Facts” is one of many of his programs.
* Audience size for Lanier Library Felburn Programs has been steadily increasing. Comfortable capacity is 50.
