Celebrate Snake Day with these 7 sensational snake pictures

Nothing scary about these cool snakes.

No need to fear, World Snake Day is here! On July 16, these often misunderstood animals get a dedicated day for people to learn about and appreciate them. Over 3,000 snake species roam the Earth, often sharing space with humans and other animals. While many people find snakes scary, the reptilian creatures serve many purposes for the planet. Snakes not only help control pest populations but also contribute to the world’s biodiversity. The Advocates for Snake Preservation encourage people to use World Snake Day as a time to appreciate these animals and support conservation projects. Snake-lovers can enjoy the cool snake pictures below and visit Save The Snakes to support global snake conservation.
