Mike Hill Presents
"Snakes of Boquete"

We are happy to have local snake expert, Mike Hill as our guest speaker.  He is retired fish and game wildlife biologist from California. Below items will be covered in his presentation
  • Ways to identify and misidentify venomous snakes
  • How most snake bites occur
  • What to do—and not do—if you are bitten
  • Common non-venomous snakes in and near Boquete
  • Common venomous snakes in and near Boquete
  • Q&A 
Mike earned his Bachelor's degree in Fisheries from Humboldt State University in 1983, and his Master's degree in Agriculture, specializing in Soil Science, in 2009. His career highlights include using electricity to catch fish, and he once wrested a bull elk to the ground almost by himself. He describes himself as a herpetologist in a loose sense of the term, and has had a love of reptiles since he was a child. He spent many of his early days catching lizards and snakes in the outskirts of Los Angeles. He caught his first rattlesnake when he was about 12 and has handled dozens of venomous snakes since then. He retired in late 2018 and relocated with his wife to Panamá, which is his version of paradise due to the incredible fishing and abundance of wildlife, especially reptiles.
