Description

Welcome to the very first episode of Monster's Advocate! Monster's Advocate will be a weekly podcast focused around the unsung heros of myths and legends, the monsters! We’ll take a look at some monster-centric myths and legends, some not so ancient cryptids, and everything inbetween and try to sort out possible origin species, biological impetus for why they do what they do, and why we love to hear about them. Today's episode will be about Pythons, our extra cuddly snake friends! References:Snake FactsMcDiarmid RW, Campbell JA, Touré T. 1999.
