We envision a world where ALL are respected and appreciated instead of feared and hated.

To paraphrase our friend the @HumaneGardener our reticence to speak on this comes from feeling that anything we say is obvious and an understatement. 1/

MEET Sara 👋

A few months back, Sara called us in a panic: there was a GIANT snake (Gophersnake!) in her yard and she was worried about her little dogs.

As I tried to calm her fears, I noticed we had a visitor outside too — Harvey, one of our Rattlesnake neighbors!

This Giving Tuesday, our fundraising goal is modest: we want to find homes for all our Serpents of the Rainbow 2024 Calendars TODAY. There are less than 20 left!

Donate to ASP today — any amount — and get a special code for 25% off your calendar.

In just minutes, with a few facts and one pic of a friendly snake encounter, Sara’s fear changed to fascination. That’s the power of knowledge YOU can provide: People like Sara want to coexist with their snake neighbors, but they don’t know how.

While ASP co-founder Jeff rushed outside to photograph Harvey, I explained my distraction to Sara and sent her a photo of how we manage yard snakes.

"We had just arrived home from a fall camping trip, and this beautiful yellow variant Eastern Ratsnake was basking right where we park our RV. Posed for us, then released to a safer corner of our yard, near Wilmington NC. Photographed by "Picture The South" @PictureTheSouth

@snakeymama @SnakeAdvocate Not the best shot technically but a sight I'm unlikely to see again!! A western whip snake eating an asp viper.

[Advocates for Snake Preservation @SnakeAdvocate]

Definitely colorful enough for a #SerpentsOfTheRainbow!

@snakeymama @SnakeAdvocate Not as colorful but still beautiful. Boa sigma from Sonora, Mexico 💕
