Tom Wyant Speaks At Rotary About Local Snakes
White Rock resident Tom Wyant spoke recently at a Rotary Club meeting, describing ways to identify local snakes. Here he holds a bull snake. Bull snakes are non-venomous and are very powerful constrictors who eat small mammals, helping regulate the rodent population. Wyant is a popular speaker about snakes and also removes and rescues them. Residents may enlist his services by calling 505.672.1981; they may also call the non-emergency number at the Los Alamos Police Department, 505.662.8222. Photo by Rob Metcalf
