Snakes. Whether they thrill you or terrify you, these creatures provoke strong reactions in us. While many people are frightened by snakes, the fact remains that snakes play an important role in the ecosystems in which they are found. Have a mouse problem at home? There’s a snake for that! Spiders taking over your garden? There’s a snake for that too! Centipedes and scorpions have you frozen in terror? Have no fear, the variable ground snake is here!
