The LB Reptile Experience
The LB Reptile Experience is a reptile rescue program local to Jacksonville that takes over 400 calls a year for both exotic and indigenous reptiles. Their presentation will delight as always with hands on interaction, as the kids get to touch the animals and hold some of them, as they learn the special stories of these rescued herps from Bob Shumaker. If you like meeting the big reptiles, stop by this presentation and learn more.
Carpet Pythons
Tim Manucy of ByTheShore Reptiles will give a presentation on carpet pythons and other Australian snakes. These unique animals are beautiful snakes that remain somewhat outside of the mainstream herp hobby, and are NOT among Florida's Species of Concern. Stop by this starter seminar of "Carpet Pythons Made Simple" to learn basic information on care, housing, and breeding. You'll also get to see them up close!
Snakes of the Southeast!
Daniel Parker from Sunshine Serpents will be doing a Powerpoint presentation on
Snakes of the Southeast
"Was that a water snake or a cottonmouth? A scarlet king snake or a coral snake? Daniel Parker of Sunshine Serpents and University of Central Florida gives a general overview of the snake species of the southeastern United States with an emphasis on identification, conservation, and venomous snake safety. This presentation will include a colorful powerpoint presentation and live snakes."
Arachnids!
Mike Dean from Exotic Kingdom will be giving a presentation focusing on various arachnids. As a breeder of these creatures, he is the man to learn from if you are into animals that even some herpers think are creepy and crawly. If you like tarantulas, scorpions, and other spiders, stop by to see them up close and personal!
