Program Description

Event Details

Summer Reading for 2025! Today we'll learn about snakes, lizards, and other reptiles, from Rich Ritchey. Rich presents about 15 live reptiles one at a time, and teaches about each! He asks for volunteers during the show to hold the kid-friendly animals. Rich teaches with humor and patience! Feel free to take a lot of photos!  All will have a chance to see large lizards, large boa and python, an alligator, large turtle and tortoise, a de-venomized cobra and viper, and several other reptiles (snakes.) Any snake that is venomous in the wild has been surgically de-venomized for safety! Only Rich holds those reptiles.
