Why are some people scared of snakes?

Exciting news! Next week on Moment of Um is Snake Week, where every episode will explore a different question about our slithery friends. Not very excited about that? Feeling maybe…a bit apprehensive? We understand. To help us get to the bottom of this fear of snakes (and maybe even overcome it?) we reached out to wildlife ecologist Thaddeus McRae.
