Nature: Up Close and Slithery
Many, many (well, maybe not THAT many, lol) years ago, I discovered my love for reptiles and amphibians while caring for animals at a local pet store. This passion for these critters helped me identify the need for a reptile and amphibian rescue sanctuary, so I decided to begin providing shelter for these displaced reptiles. When my son's teachers discovered our unique pets, they were eager to have me come and share our reptile friends with the students. And like that, Voila!, Scaly Tailz was born! I have been doing educational demos since 1997
Scaly Tailz educates and empowers local organizations by hosting live demonstrations of reptiles and amphibians, informing on and supporting wildlife conservation, and providing safety to reptiles and amphibians in need. During our demonstrations we talk about the animals we have brought, wildlife conservation, and the ways to be responsible pet owners.
