Lutheran Schools Week 2010!

Snakes & Scales & Turtle Tales

This show brought BIG reptiles and herpetologist and founder, Bill Boesenberg, who enthralled and informed a big family night crowd on Friday, March 5.

We saw a nearly 100 lb America Alligator, “Blue,” sit in Bill’s lap like a puppy, and a 6 ft Water Monitor Lizard, “Elizardbeth,” sniffing the air with her foot-long tongue, while everyone laughed at the story of how she came to us. We also met “Hernia,” a 100 lb Burmese Python, and a giant snapping turtle.
