I mustache you a question... Do you like being overrun with rodents? 🤔 Nah, didn’t think so. That’s just one of the many reasons why snakes are so important - keeping rodent populations in check. Now yes, many snakes eat other things. And that’s okay too. Snakes are an integral part of the ecosystems the naturally inhabit and are worthy of their special day. So happy #WorldSnakeDay! . . . . . #RedTailBoa #SanDiegoZoo #boaconstrictor #animalfact #wildlifeeducation #awesomeanimal #animalplanet #thezoo #bronxzoo #reptilesofinstagram #picoftheday #photooftheday #instasnake #herp #instaherp #animalplanet_fan #snakeoftheday #naturelovers #zookeeper (at San Diego, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bz_0yIXHj8I/?igshid=1u34cowvhbr1h

For those of you playing along... The answer to today's #WhatIsItWednesday is - Mang Mountain Pit Viper in the Reptile House of the @SanDiegoZoo! This is an #EndangeredSpecies native to Mang Mountain in the Hunan Province, China. #InstaSnake #snakesofinsragram #reptilesofinstagram #herp #herps #instaherp #instareptile #AwesomeAnimal #sandiegozoo

Another one of my favorite #wildlife moments, hanging out with marine iguanas while visiting the #GalapagosIslands. Happy #WorldWildlifeDay! Remember you don't need to travel the world to make a difference for wildlife. Your own native species are counting on you to help them thrive so we can all enjoy healthy ecosystems. #instaherp #herp #reptilesofinstagram #instateptile #iguana #awesomeanimals
