In this episode, I speak with biologist Carl Person. Carl founded Animalia Herpetofauna, Inc.—one of the top rattlesnake avoidance training companies. Carl and his team have trained all my dogs to avoid rattlesnakes, and Animalia Herpetofauna is where I send all my clients for rattlesnake avoidance training. You will enjoy this conversation. Besides Carl's background and approach, we cover a wide range of topics, including the different types of rattlesnakes you encounter in the United States and their different kinds of venom, rattlesnake bites, the two available antivenoms, first-aid tips after bites and what not to do, the problems with rattlesnake vaccines and of course rattlesnake avoidance training.
