Snakes of Singapore
Manage episode 296512049 series 2422556
Biodiversity is important to any country, and in Singapore, we need to talk about our snakes. We're not talking about those folks who gossip behind our backs - this is about the reptiles that are hidden in our parks and wetlands, and are surprisingly not out to harm you! In this episode, we're privileged to have Sankar from the Herpetological Society of Singapore to share his own snake-spotting stories and to bust some myths about these creatures. He calls them cute a couple of times so you know he loves snakes. In this episode, we
- Learn about the main types of snakes in Singapore
- Hear some fascinating stories on snake fights
- Discuss what to do if you do encounter a snake in Singapore (Pro-tip: don't call pest control)
You'll see Singapore like you never have before. Also, SUBSCRIBE to our Substack to get bonus content right in your email - Click Here!
