Reptile Adventure - Live Reptiles!
This program is an overview of reptiles and amphibians; explaining what makes a reptile a reptile and how different reptiles live in their native ecosystems. We have a variety of animals from all over the globe and from many habitats. Topics include what the animals eat, how they find their food, how they avoid predators, and what related animals can be found in New York. Reptile Adventure, based in NY’s Capital Region, is an educational organization that brings live animals to venues. They are extremely hands-on, allowing participants to touch; and even, hold most of their animals. Children will learn about 8 different reptiles. Educators strive to bring a cheerful and positive approach to
educating with reptiles; to do so without hype, tall tales, or attempts to frighten the audience—just friendly animals, stranger-than-fiction facts, and they are sensitive, knowledgeable educators.
It’s fascinating hands-on, interactive reptile education that’s too amazing to miss!
Educator Jessica Shea, Reptile Adventure, will lead the program.
