64 | Cutting Edge Research on Diamondbacks with Dr. Jayme Waldron

Dr. Jenkins sits down with Dr. Waldron to talk more about one of his favorite snakes, the Eastern Diamond-backed Rattlesnake (EDB). Jayme has spent much of her career working in the low country of South Carolina both in the pine savannas and on sea islands. The common thread of this podcast is the research program of one of the leading contemporary ecologists studying EDBs. They discuss a wide range of topics including life history, movements, snake-human interactions, misconceptions on the timing of breeding, and so much more. Stay tuned to the end to hear the story of Hussie, an amazing story of snake longevity and a researcher’s connection to an animal. Connect with Jayme on her website.Connect with Chris on Facebook, Instagram or at The Orianne Society.Shop Snake Talk merch.
