World Snake Day, Fri Jul 16th, 2021

An opportunity to celebrate snakes and raise awareness about their conservation. While snakes are threatened by many of the same issues that affect all wildlife (habitat loss, climate change, and disease), negative attitudes toward snakes may be the biggest barrier to their conservation because it often impedes efforts to address other threats.

The UAE has many venomous living in both sand desert and rocky mountainous environments. However, not all types are harmful to man as some are non-venomous and snakes in general can also help eliminate rats, mice, lizards and geckos.
