On today’s episode we have Tim, a RVA wildlife enthusiast. Ever since Tim was a kid he has been obsessed with snakes, searching for and ethically capturing them in swamps and forests around Richmond as well as other reptiles in the South. Tim makes Youtube videos and Tiktoks documenting his wildlife adventures and educating people about the animals he runs into. He professionally removes copperheads and wasps for people around the area. He also recently painted his truck like a copperhead!
We discuss all things snakes in VA - what ones to avoid and ones that are safe to handle.
We also discuss America's obsession with true crime and the Netflix Series Monsters - The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story.

Business of the week: Sumer Briana Pet Grooming
Are you looking for a trusting professional pet groomer? Olivia's boyfriend has a Pomeranian named Izzy and she always looks fabulous thanks to Sumer. Sumer does everything from shelter to vet grooming to standard breed cuts, baths and nail trims. She also does pet-safe hair coloring and nail painting which is so fun. She always puts a pink heart on Izzy’s butt!
Another service she offers is home grooms for people who prefer their dog to be groomed at home or don’t have the ability to travel to a salon. Those spots tend to fill up quickly.
Sumer works with Carytown Petco Grooming Salon. Book her now by adding her on Facebook at Sumer Briana. Contact Carytown Petco Grooming Salon for appointments and prices.
