Living Earth Reptiles - Take a look into their intriguing world!
Discover the fascinating truth about all kinds of reptiles and amphibians – in nature and in captivity. Learn about their daily lives, feeding habits, and natural habitats. These specialized educational programs may be the first time for many to get “up close and personal” to some amazing animals. Children and adults alike are introduced to the world of reptiles with the help of living Reptilian Ambassadors. More than just an audience, attendees are invited to become an active part of the program and interact with the animals in a safe, secure environment.
Reptiles and amphibians are studied in the science of Herpetology, from the Greek word ‘herpeton’, meaning “crawling things”- including snakes, lizards, crocodilians, turtles, frogs, toads, salamanders, and newts. Herpetoculture is the science and hobby of keeping these animals healthy in a domestic situation. The ultimate goal of herpetoculturists is keeping their charges healthy enough for them to breed, as an aid to their conservation, and to provide domestically bred pets. Domestically bred reptiles make much better pets than wild caught animals.
See live reptiles from around the world and right here in North America. As their populations decline worldwide, the importance of educating people about these mysterious and misunderstood animals becomes key to their conservation and survival. Hopefully these programs will achieve their intent - stressing the importance of reptiles and amphibians’ role in our lives and in our world, as well as the importance of humanity’s own role in the natural world.

we will conserve only what we love,
we will love only what we understand,
we will understand only what we are taught.”
