If you are faint of heart, Spike isn't the only thing to see up close. Croc Encounters will be bringing many other amazing reptiles, and they will be presenting a seminar like no other. If you want to see and touch the big stuff, don't miss Croc Encounters!
The LB Reptile Experience
The LB Reptile Experience is a reptile rescue program from Jacksonville that takes over 400 calls a year for both exotic and indigenous reptiles. This is their first time in Ft. Lauderdale, and their presentation and seminar will be hands on, as the kids get to touch the animals and hold some of them, as they learn the special stories of these rescued herps from Bob Shumaker. If you like meeting the big reptiles, stop by this presentation and learn more.
Bruce will be giving a presentation on Giant Yellow Footed Tortoises, aka Amazon Basin Yellow Footed Tortoises, with a live animal!
Bruce has recently completed his fourth tour of schools across the US. These tours have now taken him to over 1000 schools in 45 states.
Bruce will be signing copies of his new "Crocodilians of the World" poster
Don Kaye has been currently working with a group of Albino American Alligators and hopes to be producing captive
hatched albinos in the near future. At Orlando on Sunday, you will be able to see these rare animals up close and learn about them in Don's presentation!
Reptile Lighting Needs.
Much is known, but do you know what is best when it comes to your reptiles and their lighting needs? Gaia Exotics will facilitate a presentation on reptile lighting, so come get your basic knowledge and more advanced information on this important factor in keeping your pets happy and healthy!
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!
Repticon asks that you join us in supporting the Burmese Python Initiative. This newly formed group is working to find permanent homes for animals displaced due to the recent change in legislation.
