ALTO, Mich. — The Michigan Society of Herpetologists will be at Boulder Ridge Wild Animal Park on August 6 from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. and August 7 from 12 p.m. to 6 p.m. to give families a hands-on experience with dozens of reptiles.
The event will raise awareness of conservation efforts, caring for these animals, and teach kids about how these critters impact their surroundings.
Visitors will be able to pet and hold several species of snakes, lizards, and turtles— and it's all rolled into the price of admission.
Tickets are $18 for adults and $14 for kids.
Some of the animals scheduled to appear this weekend include turtles and tortoises, boa constrictors, pythons, crocodiles, tegu lizards, tarantulas, and Snappy the snapping turtle.
