Mr. Higgs: Our wise and elderly ball python
Mouse: Our charming Children's python
Mary James: Our captivating bearded dragon
Ziggy and Cinderblock: Our laid-back leopard geckos

Our thriving colony of breeding crested geckos, including our newest hatchling, Carlos
In addition to meeting our resident reptiles, students will delve into the lives of native California species such as king snakes, gopher snakes, rattlesnakes, alligator lizards, blue bellied Western Fence lizards, and Granite spiny lizards.
Through engaging activities and interactive lessons, students will discover the unique features, behaviors, and habitats of these incredible creatures. This class emphasizes hands-on learning, encouraging students to ask questions, make observations, and deepen their understanding of reptilian life.
