Reptile Family

We got to see a great presentation by The Reptile Family at our library last week that Uncle Dan especially would have appreciated. There were five different kinds of lizards, four snakes including the huge boa below, four turtles that got to run around the room, a millipede, and some frogs. This boy was a hysterical reptile know-it-all who kept me entertained with his interjections. I think it takes a science nerd to love a science nerd. He was also fairly protective of the animals when the littler kids got their petting turn, concerned with that Matilda might injure this millipede. Two cute little sisters hold a bearded dragon, like Tucker. The presenter did a great job letting all kids take turns holding the animals, coaching them if they got nervous, and never once misjudged whether the poor critter would get dropped by a spooked little volunteer.
