Hungry reptiles are again on the prowl for food and mates at Tohono Chul Park. Join the Park as we embrace the warmer weather – and introduce those whose cold blood depends on it – REPTILES. Reptile Ramble starts again on August 7 and continues each Friday through the end of October, at the Overlook.
In this program, which will fascinate adults and children alike, presenters unveil captive reptiles, mostly snakes, inviting the brave in each crowd an opportunity to touch, if they dare. The presentation teaches the essentials in understanding reptiles — how do they move?; how do they eat?; where do they live? Reptile skeletons, skulls, and sheds will also be available for viewing and touching. During the second part of the Ramble the group strolls over to the Parks’ tortoise enclosure and along the way looks for lizards, teaching how to tell the difference between species. The Park is home to many; ornate tree lizards, western banded geckos, regal horned lizards, gila monsters and zebra tailed lizards to name a few. Come see who you can uncover, identify and intermingle with at this corner desert oasis.
