We envision a world where ALL are respected and appreciated instead of feared and hated.
To paraphrase our friend the @HumaneGardener our reticence to speak on this comes from feeling that anything we say is obvious and an understatement. 1/

MEET Sara ๐
A few months back, Sara called us in a panic: there was a GIANT snake (Gophersnake!) in her yard and she was worried about her little dogs.
As I tried to calm her fears, I noticed we had a visitor outside too โ Harvey, one of our Rattlesnake neighbors!

In just minutes, with a few facts and one pic of a friendly snake encounter, Saraโs fear changed to fascination. Thatโs the power of knowledge YOU can provide: People like Sara want to coexist with their snake neighbors, but they donโt know how.

While ASP co-founder Jeff rushed outside to photograph Harvey, I explained my distraction to Sara and sent her a photo of how we manage yard snakes.
ALT Sara: "Hello! Thank you for your help this evening!" ASP: "Turns out the Rattlesnake in our yard is Harvey, who we've seen 3 times in the past week. We're so happy to have him." Photo of Jeff filming Harvey the Rattlesnake. Sara: "That's so neat! Hi Harvey! I think he likes the photo op!โ

"We had just arrived home from a fall camping trip, and this beautiful yellow variant Eastern Ratsnake was basking right where we park our RV. Posed for us, then released to a safer corner of our yard, near Wilmington NC. Photographed by "Picture The South" @PictureTheSouth

Not the best shot technically but a sight I'm unlikely to see again!! A western whip snake eating an asp viper.
