RESEARCH, RESEARCH, RESEARCH

ALLOW ME TO CLARIFY, THIS IS NOT AN INDIANA JONES MOVIE, INDY WAS A PROFESSOR OF ARCHAEOLOGY AND THIS MAN IS A PROFESSOR OF ENGLISH

They also do not share an aversion to snakes, while Indy hates snakes above all creatures, this Professor is willing to put his life on the line when dealing with the highly predatory Garter snake in this movie.

The Garter snake is a Colubrid snake genus (Thamnophis) common across North America, ranging from Alaska and Canada to Central America. It is the single most widely distributed genus of reptile in North America.

Garter snakes are harmless to humans due to the very low amounts of venom they produce, which is comparatively mild, and the fact that they lack an effective means of delivering it. They do have enlarged teeth in the back of their mouth, but their gums are significantly larger.

A bite may result in mild swelling and an itching sensation. There are no known cases of serious injury and extremely few with symptoms of envenomation.

Their average length is 3 feet.



NO SNAKES WERE HURT DURING THE MAKING OF THIS MOVIE.
