Here at MyWildBackyard we investigate the secrets of the natural world- secrets that can be hidden in our very own backyards! I want to share the incredible world of insects, spiders and other wildlife with you and inspire you to explore your curiosity. Get out there, and find your adventure!
In the southern United States, there's an old myth that baby snakes can't control their venom. If you were to be bitten by a baby snake, you'll get more venom in that bite, and have a higher chance of dying. But science disagrees. In this video, Jack and I test it out for ourselves to find out if baby snakes are actually deadlier than adults!
