Special Skills & Experience

Hi!
My name is Jessica Newman, I am an on set snake safety technician, also known as a snake wrangler.
I have 30+ years hands on experience with identifying, husbandry, breeding and handling snakes. I was an exotic animal caretaker for 5+ years and one of my hobbies is finding snakes in the wild, as I can identify any North American snake.

Snake Wranglers/Snake Safety Technicians survey your outdoor sets for snakes for the safety of your crew/actors. I catch any snakes found and relocate them; It is my policy NOT to keep the snakes I find.

I am from Annapolis MD, but I currently live in East TN.

I previously worked for Jeff Nix Animal Casting out of central Georgia, but left due to managerial differences.


Familiar with filming protocols.
Equipment used: snake hooks, grabber for venomous snakes, vented buckets, gloves, reliable car for traveling
