Hanging out with a great friend of the show, Safari Steve, from Oxnard Community Zoo & Tire
Center & Nail Salon. Safari, the snakes are waking up from hibernation. Why don't you
give our home viewers a few tips on how to handle snake season. That's right, my thing
is education. So you got to know your different species of snake. Lots of different snakes
have lots of different colorful markings. And how do tell what snake is what snake?
Well, the easiest way to identify a snake is by picking it up. Oh, wait, I can hear
the tweets now, Safari. Are you sure snakes like to be picked up? Absolutely. They love
it. Snakes like to hide in dark places. Oh? So if you suspect a snake is in an area, say,
heating duct or couch cushion, just reach in. Well, you should tell the snake you're
there, though, no? Yes, you should say something to the effect of: "Hello Mr. Snake, I'm Safari
Steve." Or use your own name. My name's Mike. Pleasure to meet you. And what if the area
you're reaching into is just too small for hand? That's where I like to use children.
They have small hands that can get into all those hard to reach areas. And who doesn't
love children? In my history, I would have to agree. Everyone loves children. Hm. Snakes
can vary in age too. So if you hear a rattle, he's probably a young snake. Say something
cool and hip like: 'Yo diggity' or 'what's up, snake?' Safari, always a pleasure. Pleasure,
Mike. Good to see you. Don't forget your bag there. Oh jeez, I'm missin' a snake. Oh, there's
one by our P.A., Rodney. Oh, it's okay! Just pick him up! When he hoods up like it means
he's just looking for a friend. Don't vomit, Rodney. Rodney's kind of a p****.
