Not So Creepy Critters

Courtney and Erik Honer are siblings who started a business called Not So Creepy Critters in 2010. They live in Central Texas and conduct presentations about arachnids, insects, and reptiles to students, teachers, and environmentalists. They also participate in Earth Day celebrations. Their goal is to teach others about critters that are beneficial to the environment and are not so creepy after all. Courtney and Erik wrote a book Not So Creepy Critters, and the book was published last fall. All photos were taken by Courtney and Erik. Illustrations are by Courtney and Erik Honer and Dylan Crespo.

Courtney & Erik will be part of two events at the show, a meet & greet book signing, along with their 30 minute Powerpoint and live animal educational presentation!

Arachnids!

Mike Dean from Exotic Kingdom will be giving a presentation focusing on various arachnids. As a breeder of these creatures, he is the man to learn from if you are into animals that even some herpers think are creepy and crawly. If you like tarantulas, scorpions, and other spiders, stop by to see them up close and personal!
