What kinds of reptiles are venomous and non-venomous in AZ? How do we stay safe around these reptiles? Learn what to do if you ever see or hear a rattlesnake in the wild, why Gila monsters are such amazing animals, why desert tortoises are protected animals, and how to tell if a snake is venomous or non-venomous. Space is limited. Program sponsored by Maricopa County Library District as part of Maricopa County Reads, the summer reading program at the library.
