| Louisiana Snake ID, LLC
is a privately owned, for-profit company operated by the
Hood Family. Kevin and Rachel Hood, along with their two
sons, Kyler and Landon, run Louisiana Snake ID. In 2017
Louisiana Snake ID began as a public page on Facebook
to provide snake identification to friends and family
with the goal of keeping the snakes alive, and grew to
a social media following of over 50,000 people as a safe
space that empowers people to learn about and identify
snakes on their own. As a voice for the voiceless, we
educate people about the benefits of snakes and teach
facts that debunk common myths created by fear. We also
do this at schools, libraries, birthday parties, public
and private events, or anywhere that someone asks us to
come out and talk about snakes. Our family has been featured
on Bayou Wild TV, WWL, LPB/PBS, the Advocate, Louisiana
Sportsmen Magazine, inRegister, and more. We never thought
we’d be on TV, in magazines or news articles, or traveling
the state presenting educational and interactive shows
enjoyed by all ages, but we’re so grateful for all of
these opportunities, and it is our honor to be ambassadors
for both snakes and Louisiana.
We also encourage a respect
of nature as a whole because we want our ecosystem and
environment to thrive so that all of our native animals
can coexist together as nature intends. Snakes are a
huge part of that, but many people just want to kill
them. This is the mindset we aim to convert through
education, not only within our state, but across the
entire country. The exponential growth of love for these
misunderstood creatures has been amazing, and has opened
a door of possibilities only imagined in our family's
wildest dreams. We recently founded the Snake Life Foundation,
a non-profit corporation, as a pathway for those dreams
to be made into reality with the help, love, and support
of those who appreciate and share our passion to save
snake lives and preserve the ecosystems in which all
animals can not only coexist, but thrive together as
nature intends.
Stay tuned as needs arise
and goals are set, and join in on their efforts to reach
those goals in order to make this world a more loving
place for us all.
