Lectures

Dr. Mayes teaching one of the Animal Control courses at Police Academy in 2024

Power point downloads – private

Snake Haus is unique in that two of our directors are licensed veterinarians with extensive teaching experience. Instead of spending time at places like expos and conventions we focus on high quality education. Dr. Mayes can provide interactive lectures on just about any topic. Feel free to reach out to us if you have a class that you would like to ask us for. Please keep in mind these should be higher level education type events for adults that want to learn about these animals. We do not provide visits for entertainment only. A lecture provided by Snake Haus involves detailed notes, power point presentation, and live animals if the topic calls for it. Some examples of past classes are below.
