The Zoo Man came to visit today! His real name is Michael Hicks and he is the owner and director of the Capital of Texas Zoo. He’s also part of a world-wide effort to save various reptiles (especially snakes) through breeding programs at different zoos. He always ends the show with a snake and advice about what to do if you see one in the wild (don’t touch it!) š
