You Should Know | Snakes with Jorge Aldavaz
Snake Tamer and ENMU Library Technical Assistant Jorge Aldavaz (BS24) brings his scaly friends around town to teach our community how to handle and respect snakes. In this episode of You Should Know, Evelyn Ledbetter learns about the attitudes, mannerisms, and anatomy of the six special guests that Aldavaz brings with him.
Aldavaz has many passions, and making all creatures feel at home is one of them. He rescues reptiles from households that cannot keep them anymore for any reason, and he makes sure the snakes he takes in are healthy, happy, and taken care of. If you are looking to rehome your scaley pet, contact Jorge Aldavaz, and he will help you and the animal.
For those of you looking forward to meeting Aldavaz and his animals, there will be a Slither and Learn session in the Golden Student Success Center on October 5, 2026.
