The LB Reptile Experience
The LB Reptile Experience is a reptile rescue program from Jacksonville that takes over 400 calls a year for both exotic and indigenous reptiles. Returning to Orlando by popular demand, their presentation and seminar will be hands on, 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.
They will also be presenting a popular hands on lecture about their many reptiles and exotic mammals! Potential animals expected at the May show are a Patagonian Cavy Baby, a Bolens Python, a Chinchilla, Bumble Bee Toads, a Teacup Pig, a Large Boa, and a Hedgehog!
Venomous Herps are Returning!
Bill Love of Blue Chameleon Ventures
BRING YOUR CAMERA!
Interactive HERP PHOTOGRAPHY Seminar
Renowned Herp photographer Bill Love will be facilitating an interactive seminar on how to photograph herps, so bring your camera to the show! Bill Love's spectacular herp photos appear frequently in Reptiles Magazine as well as many other books and publications. So stop, camera in tow, and take opportunity to learn "hands on" from one of the best!
Please check the schedule above for information as to when Bill Love will be giving this seminar.
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."
Carpet Pythons
Tim Manucy of ByTheShore Reptiles will give a presentation on carpet pythons. 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!
Liz Waba returns to Orlando with her beautiful owls! Stop by during her presentation to learn all about these animals, and see them in all their glory, up close and in person!
Not seen enough yet?
Critter Encounters will return to Orlando with even more exotics. It's always something different, so stop by and be ready for some surprises!
-Fecal exams done for $10 each on premises.
-Fecal exams done only during show hours (Dr. Alfonso will stop doing fecals 1/2 hour before closing if the demand is high to allow for closing)
-Fecal exams are only to help the owners determine treatment course, not a reason to return reptiles to a vendor.
-Reptiles routinely harbor parasites and the purpose of the fecal exams is not to dicourage purchases but rather treat them promptly.
-Fecal samples must be fresh, no older than 12 hours when possible (in the case of people bringing samples of their pets at home).
-Only reptile/amphibian samples will be processed. No other species will be seen.
-The fecal exam is a fecal float only. No smears will be done on premises. Each fecal float takes approx. 10 minutes to run so time will be limited.
-On Saturday, tests will start at 12:00 PM when Dr. Alfonso arrives at the show. On Sunday it will be from opening time.
-Owners with animals having parasites will be told the parasite present, which medication is recommended for treatment, and where to go for medications (Dr. Alfonso's clinic or any of their choice).
Unforgettable Animal Encounters!
Not all animals will be available each day of the show.
Unusual Mammals!
If you love mammals as much as reptiles, stop by PC Reptiles and Exotics to meet some of their monkeys and other exotic mammals. They have begun a breeding program, so learn more and perhaps be tempted to bring a little bit of the jungle into your home with an exotic pet monkey, flying squirrel, or other creature.
The Wrepticon Wrabbit Wraffle
Note: Bunny shown is an actor, not the actual bunny to be raffled.
