The Reptile Man was bitten in 1970 (not literally!) with an extreme curiosity concerning the natural world and its seemingly infinite colors, patterns, and abilities in the reptile world. It inspired him to want to share his knowledge with the world. Established in 1991, the Reptile Man uses exotic reptiles from around the world as educational ambassadors. First-come, first-served. Ages 5 and up.

Both shows will cover the same topics.
