Snakes, Lizards, Turtles...

Two classes at St. Sebastian School had a hands-on experience with some reptiles last week. The reptiles came from an organization called Reptile Family, out of Thousand Oaks. The children got to hold a boa constrictor (above), as well as the chance to pet a giant lizard. Also on hand were some exotic frogs, smaller snakes and lizards and turtles and tortoises. Most of the kids had no problem holding and touching the reptiles, but a few shied away from them altogether. Photos (from asafe distance) byBrian D. Wilson
