Biologist Dana Eye shows off a male rattlesnake on World Snake Day, Monday at the Nk’Mip Desert Cultural Centre. This snake was originally confiscated from an Okanagan resident and had been in the care of the BC Wildlife Park in Kamloops. Eye said she picked it up to bring it to its new home the day before. The snake, about 13 years old, hasn’t yet been given a name, but the unique heart shape on its back could give food for thought. The cultural centre held other snake activities Monday.
