Maricopa County Parks and Recreation: Snake Feeding and Animal Encounters

Meet Ranger Jacque and our animal ambassadors at feeding time! Join Ranger Jacque for an up-close look at fascinating creatures. You can watch our animal ambassadors, specifically snakes, devour their juicy meals, and maybe even pet a critter! Guests will also learn about the unique characteristics of venomous desert dwellers and the important roles these animals play in the ecosystem. The snakes will be fed pre-killed mice, and arachnids may be fed live crickets if available. Registration is required; please check in at the Nature Center classroom area.
