John Ball Zoo hosted 'Venom Day' this morning to help train doctors on how to respond to snake and reptile bites.
Reptile specialists gathered today at the zoo to help them save lives. Residents with Corewell Health and the Michigan State College of Human Medicine are put through different scenarios. The zoo staff plays the role of a patient and assists the doctors conducting the training.
The team also showed the students two non-venomous snakes to teach them about snake behavior and handling.
