Hello All,

We started with a group of Mexica people performing some traditional dances to the elements and deities

Some pics of the reptiles

These are central or South American rattlers, perhaps a new undescribed specie, according to the Owner.

video? ... Rolling Eyes

mmm, I think I misplaced the video cam after our run-in with the law Rolling Eyes

ha ha j/k

I don;t know if there was any video taken there Warren, but there are tons of pictures. I will be uploading some later in the day as well.

One of the rattle snakes was presumed to be undescribed species, this according to Chris, from 4ever exotic animal sanctuary.

They had pictures (and the snake) of when he was bit, they had to open his leg up to "draw out oxygen"? I don't really know the terms but it was gnarly.

HUGE iguanas, I sadly do not remember the species name, but they were massive!!!

I was playing with a Python regius for a bit thanks to one of the rescues and I have to say, I was not interested in snakes before, but this one won me over Smile

We had a good crowd at times, tons of extremely curious kids, interested parents and one or other that got the chills just looking at our table.

That little alligator was awesome Smile

Tons of wildlife in the area, I think Karen's boyfriend mentioned they found a gopher snake on their little hike, and there were at least two reports of rattle snakes spotted right outside of the Nature Center's doors Very Happy

Pasadena Star News was there and they were taking pictures, I'm not sure if the SCABIES table was included there or not, but I did get some contact information thanks to Roger Rook. Hopefully we can soon organize a larger event and have enough turn out to invite media over Wink

Pics coming shortly.

Apparently I was the only one besides the handlers that was brave enough to stand right on top of the bucket and take pictures. Shocked
