In April, Henry's class at school is studying reptiles and amphibians. To further enrich their experience, they had The Reptile Man come to school this Friday. He brought 17 different reptiles. Tortoises, a chameleon, a skink, an alligator snapping turtle, an alligator, and MANY snakes--some with fangs, some without. I am NOT a snake person but we went anyway. It was amazing (a little terrifying at moments). The kids loved it and Henry was able to touch a cobra, a rattlesnake, and the alligator. He is a brave boy! We had a great time.

The alligator snapping turtle. This is a baby weighing 17 lbs. They grow to 250 lbs.--are you kidding me?
The cobra dancing around--cool and scary. This was about 2 feet from us.

I don't remember the name of this snake but it took six kids just to hold it. Yikes!
