Saturday was a great hit! We had a huge gang come to join us and watch the presentation. The show itself lasted about an hour, then we stuck around to answer questions and give everyone as much hands on time with the snakes as they wanted. We also did a feeding demonstration with the snakes in the nature center, which the kids got a blast from. For fun, we also fed some crickets to the frogs, which was also pretty amusing!
The presentation itself was based on reptile surviving up in the cold chilly climate of Canada. We talked about how reptiles in Canada are have made different adaptations that reptiles from other parts of the world don’t have, about different defensive tactics different reptiles use, and even took a look at how different exotic reptiles can be from the ones we find here. Most of the presentation guests were snakes, but we were also lucky to have a turtle and a lizard make an appearance at the show!
If you missed out on this presentation, there’s a couple of ways to make up for it! First off you can come and visit many of the animals from the show any day of the week in our nature center! You can also join us for snake feedings on Saturday around 3pm and amphibian feedings Monday, Wednesday and Friday! We can also do private reptile or wildlife shows on a variety of themes if you have a group! Just give us a ring (519-599-3691) or send us an e-mail (info@farmerspantry.com) to inquire!
