Florida has more than 40 species of snakes, only 6 of which are venomous. And here in Southwest Florida, we only have 4 venomous snakes. So we thought we'd do a little lesson on a question we're often asked - how can you tell the difference between a venomous and non-venomous snake? We hope this is helpful! #napleszoo #keeplearningalive #snakesarecool #themoreyouknow | Naples Zoo at Caribbean Gardens
