How do snakes make venom?

Moment Of Um

About this episode

Happy Snake Week! Every episode this week explores a different question about our slithery friends. Did you know that, out of the roughly 3,000 total species of snakes, only about 10-15% are venomous? But how do those snakes make venom in their bodies? We asked snake scientist Emily Taylor to help us find the answer.  Got a question that’s biting at you? Send it to us at BrainsOn.org/contact, and we’ll search for the answer-dote!
