Our goal is to provide quality education on the Reptiles and Amphibians found in Pennsylvania. These programs are FREE of charge for schools and community organizations. |
Examples of some of our past Programs |
If your organization is interested in a program please feel free to contact us We will provide all educational materials needed. *Note: We will talk about venomous snakes but DO NOT use live Venomous snakes in our programs and we do not use large pythons or boas. The program is based on Herps native to Pennsylvania. We generally use a variety of animals to represent the different groups: Turtles, Snakes, Salamanders, Lizards, Frogs and Toads. Many of these aniamls are small so we prefer to work in a classroom setting as opposed to an auditorium situation. By doing this the attendees get a closer look at the animals. The main program is followed by a Question and Answer period. Length of the program is dependant on how long you want but averages about an hour if you choose to go longer - it's not a problem for us. ^_^ |
