PHOENIX HERPETOLOGICAL SOCIETY TOUR

This tour of the Herp Society was a repeat of our 2/8/07 event for folks who weren’t able to make it the first time. We saw alligators, crocodiles, monitor lizards, bearded dragons, tortoises, turtles, gila monsters, and snakes, all of which had been rescued from Arizona residents who were not caring for them properly. We fed the tortoises and learned why it is important not to take exotic animals as pets and not to touch any reptiles in the wild. It was great fun and very interesting to see so many different kinds of reptiles in one place!

A journalist and a photographer from a local newspaper went on the tour with us.
