On Creature Comforts, Kevin Farrell is joined by Dr. Troy Majure, veterinarian at the Animal Medical Center in Jackson and Libby Hartfield retired director of the Mississippi Museum of Natural Science.

Whether you’re fond of them or not, you probably find snakes fascinating. From slithering underground to high in the trees, they occupy a large fraction of our ecosystem here in Mississippi. Terry Vandeventer, otherwise known as Terry the Snake Man, is our guest for the hour, so stay tuned to find out if he’s brought any of his reptilian friends to the studio with him.

With the temperature slowly warming up and the storms hopefully subsiding, the weather is starting to become more friendly to our outdoors-y friends. We can finally step outside and look up to see the stars twinkling, but also, you might see something else twinkling out of the side of your eye. Fireflies are coming out now, and Claire Graves joins today to educate us about them!
