Art has been a big part of the study of nature for hundreds of years. Early explorers used to draw illustrations of the creatures they discovered. In modern times most bird book field guides are illustrated by paintings.

Art and illustrations also play a big part of education and entertainment.

It is hoped that the Snake Artist is educational and entertaining. It is important to educate people about wildlife. If people love wildlife they want to save it. The Snake Artist wants to show the wildlife that many people tend to hate and try to change their point of view. All creatures can be beautiful and interesting if people will only look. The Snake Artist videos attempted to highlight the beauty of all creatures.

The Snake Artist, Bill Flowers is a trained snake and devil handler and has more than 15 years experience with hazardous wildlife.  Yes, this is art but the hazards are real, what ever you do, don't try this at home.
