What has two rows of teeth, can move without legs and hear without ears?

Some of the most fascinating creatures on earth will visit the Placer Nature Center on August 8^th from 10AM to 12PM. Some of these creatures can hear without ears, move without legs, change colors and shed their skin, they can’t close their eyes and some have over 200 teeth! The Annual Reptile Fair offers a fun, hands-on approach to learning why these little creatures are more scared of us then we should be of them.

Numerous groups and individuals will be on hand to share and teach about their precious snakes, lizards, turtles and geckos. Participants will get to learn about handing, care, feeding and even how to choose your own reptile as a pet.

All the Nature Center’s exhibition halls will be open for viewing and exploration including the Main Exhibit Hall and WaterShed Learning Center, Discovery Lab, Maidu Village, Demonstration Garden and The Nature Shop.
