This week, we're highlighting Sara Horwitz, also known as Connecticut's Snake Lady from Middletown as our Badass Woman of the Week. Sara is a herpetologist dedicated to educating children about reptiles, particularly snakes. With years of experience at the Children's Museum in West Hartford, she's become a role model for young women interested in working with reptiles.
Recently, Sara appeared on the Kelly Clarkson show, bringing Pumpkin the snake with her. Come on, how cute is the name Pumpkin for an orange corn snake?! BTW, Pumpkin had to have all his vet records in check along with his traveling papers before heading down to NYC. She got the full glam experience on the Kelly Clarkson show too, telling Christine and Salt it was fun to be picked up in a SUV and whisked away to the studios. Plus she even calmed some folks on the set who had a fear of snakes including a favorite actor of hers, Abigail Spencer from Suits! Check out Sara's super fun interview with Christine and Salt below where Sara advocates for kids and especially girls to follow their passion into the sciences.
