    We have rattlesnakes and scorpions in Canada.

    Osoyoos BC is a true pocket desert, and we’ve made sure our kids raised in central Canada have had the opportunity to see its scorpions and rattlesnakes at the Nk’mip interpretation centre. They have a program there to mark the rattles with luminescent paint to protect them and reduce the roadkill of rattlers on local highways.

    The semi-desert southern facing slopes of most interior southern BC mountains are home to rattlers and small cacti. Hike in leather boots.

    And of course good BC children are taught to recognize and avoid black widow spiders at a young age.
