The Cocopah Environmental Office hosted a Reptile Discovery Event with wildlife expert Sharon Maurer, who is dedicated to educating the public about Arizona’s reptiles and helping people better understand animals that are often misunderstood or perceived as dangerous.

During the event at the Community Center, Sharon discussed several species of Arizona snakes, how to identify them, and their important roles in the ecosystem. Participants were able to see a non-venomous California kingsnake and gopher snake up close and, at the end of the presentation, were given the opportunity to pet both snakes.

Attendees also had the chance to observe a blonde tarantula up close. Sharon demonstrated its docile nature by calmly holding it in her hand.

The event emphasized the importance of respecting and protecting wildlife. Most reptiles are not medically significant to humans, and even venomous species generally do not seek out or attack people. Every species plays an important role in maintaining a healthy ecosystem, and education can help promote a better understanding and appreciation of our local wildlife.
