About the event

Snake Handling & Awareness: Myths, Safety, and Coexisting with Our Slithery Neighbors
From the yard to the hiking trail, snakes are part of life in Lyons—and knowing how to respond makes all the difference.

Meet the people behind many of Lyons’ safe snake relocations—Gil Sparks, Gwydion Winklemeyer, Robyn Sloan, Mat Huey, and Bee Perky (Boulder County Animal Control Resource Officer). In this interactive panel, they’ll help you replace fear with knowledge while learning to identify, respect, and coexist with our local snakes.

In this engaging program, you’ll get answers to questions like:

Is it venomous or harmless?
How do I safely handle a snake encounter?
What should I do if a snake turns up inside?
Expect lively conversation, expert demonstrations, and plenty of opportunities to get your snake questions answered on the spot.

Do you have a question about snakes that you'd like the panelists to address? Let us know ahead of time at this link: https://forms.gle/wJ4jvYzPkH9gEsTr8
