Snakes (On a Plane!)

Not too long ago (roughly two or three weeks ago), we had the pleasure of working with the Tucson Herpetological Society in our Science Saturday event. Herpetology is the study of reptiles and amphibians.

I have to admit, when I first got word of working with the Herpetological Society, I got an email saying, "Re: Herp Club" (abbreviated). I was very close to being concerned, but I decided to read the email before judging. Lo and behold, my suspicions were alleviated, and we were going to be working with snakes that Saturday!

We were greeted by a lovely sign, both in the admissions center and down in the Biosphere:

We went to the lower part of the human habitat and set up shop. It was really quite a fun time -- we had lots of people who came to see the snakes, with enough down time for the snakes not to get too excited. There's a lot of photos for this, so I shall post the link to the slideshow instead of making an incredibly long post:
