Join enthusiastic naturalist and herpetologist Stephen Walker at the Tin Mountain Conservation Center Nature Program, “Snakes of New Hampshire” on Thursday, July 29 at 6:30 PM at the Tin Mountain Nature Learning Center,1245 Bald Hill Road in Albany, NH. Join Stephen search for snakes on the property in search of a few of New Hampshire’s eleven quiet and inconspicuous reptiles whose origins can be traced from the days of the dinosaurs. Over the years, snakes have adapted behaviors and characteristics allowing them to find and catch prey, protect themselves from predators,and adapt to nearly all climates and terrain.
Some of the snakes you may be fortunate to observe up close are the Eastern Ribbon Snake (Thamnophis sauritus) with bright yellow stripes and no markings on the belly, the Common Garter Snake (Thamnophis sirtalis) the most common snake in New Hampshire and the most widely distributed snake in all of North America as well as the well-distributed but less seen Redbelly Snake (Storeria occipitomaculatga).
Snakes occupy an important part of the food chain and ecosystem. They eat
rodents, other reptiles, and insects; however, they also are an important food source for fish, birds, amphibians, reptiles, and mammals. Today, the primary threat to snakes is loss of habitat and pollution. Stephen Walker may bring a snake or two with him.
