Teagan, age 8, came to our reptile show wearing a hatching Hognose shirt! We let her spend some extra time with one of our friendly Hognoses 🥰

Teagan’s family has their own pet hognose snake, among other reptiles. And she started her own business creating reptile necklaces, featuring shed snake skin and other beautiful parts of nature.

Don’t you just love it when the next generation is giving reptiles a chance?!

We shared reptiles with thousands of guests at multiple 4th of July celebrations this weekend! A few lucky families got to meet Bruce the Burmese Python up close and personal in a quiet little shady spot we found away from the crowds at The Star Barn, before our “official show” started by the main stage 😊

Happy Independence Day 🇺🇸 🐍 🇺🇸

This ball python was found in a driveway in York, Pa. The resident who found it did a great service to the snake by capturing him and calling us for help. Then one of our page followers from York, Damon, went and pucked him up. Thanks to everyone involved for giving reptiles a chance!

Would you help a snapping turtle cross the road? Here’s how I do it:

Turtles are nesting this month, so they can use our help. Thanks for giving reptiles a chance!

We recently did two shows for Amelia Givin Library. At the 5 PM show, Bruce the Burmese python looked like he was almost ready to shed. By the time we pulled him out at the 6:30 PM show, he was 98% done shedding, except for the tip of his tail.

If it looks like we are holding him kinda funny, it’s because pythons usually take a massive 💩 when they shed. So we’re trying to show the audience that he was shedding without getting Bruce or ourselves covered in 🐍 💩. Never a dull moment when you give reptiles a chance 😁

This was the first of four reptile species we found on our hike today. Do you want to guess the other three? The first person who guesses all four correctly I will send something cool to in the mail. Hint: the rest of the species were not turtles.

UPDATE: congratulations to Lisa Kelly for guessing correctly: copperhead, timber rattlesnake, and black rat snake 🏆
