Reptile Day! Snakes, hot snakes and more snakes!

See some sensational snakes, you’ll be slithering all over!  We’ll have a Southeastern Snake Encounter Show at 1pm featuring Jason Clark, star of the Animal Planet series SnakesKin.  Jason brings out venomous and non-venomous snakes during this exciting and humorous show. Watch as kingsnakes and rattlesnakes leave their cages behind and meet some of their reptilian friends.  Clark shares how to identify and be safe around snakes while recounting adventures from wildlife removal emergencies.  From 12-4pm the Reptile Wagon will give you an up-close view of live, native reptiles.  This exciting traveling exhibit from the Southeastern Reptile Rescue features snakes, tortoises and even alligators, waiting to be discovered.  From 2-4pm make Crafty Reptiles.  Create a slinky snake with Camp Kingfisher’s Mr. Tim. Maybe your snake will look like one of the stars of the Southeastern Snake Show. During winter, Reptiles can often go without food for months during brumation.  Brumation is triggered by lack of heat and the decrease in the hours of daylight in winter.  Included in General admission: $6 for Child/$10 Adult/$7 Seniors 65+/$7 Students 13-18/Free CNC Members & Kids 2- and under.
