Students enter the bizarre and fascinating world of reptiles. Conservationists discuss the fears and myths surrounding these scaly creatures that people love to hate. Students learn how snakes smell, see and swallow objects twice the size of their heads! Live reptiles make this program really cool. This interactive program also allows time for students to ask questions, so come prepared.

Following this ICN session, confirmed registrants receive the complimentary books Outside Inside Alligators and Crocs Closeup / Snakes Closeup or alternate title.
