Crawford Park District Naturalist Josh Dyer has a wealth of info to share about rat snakes as a group and the differences between some of the species. Ohio is home to two species of rat snakes.

Dyer will have a program at 6 o’clock in the evening Sept. 9 at Lowe-Volk Park. After the “show and tell” portion, it will be time to see if one of the rat snakes may be hungry enough to devour its last meal before the winter months.

Participants will also get the chance to touch and/or hold a rat snake. Snake lovers and dislikers welcome.
