Reptile Rescue Service is a non profit organization that educates the public about snake safety. “We teach groups from Kindergarten to College about snake safety, said James Dix, Reptile Rescue Founder and Utah Licensed Venomous Snake Handler. “Snakes are actually very intelligent and beautiful reptiles and important to have in our eco system. They are harmless and the only time they should be killed is if it’s a life threatening situation.” Reptile Rescue provides snake removal, wildfire and field rescue services to Utah.
