Yes the slimy and scaly creatures need attention too. With the recent popularity of reptiles and amphibians in the pet trade it is important that parents and children understand the ins and outs of the animal family member being adopted into their home. This program educates students on the difference between wild and domestic animals, on the various reptiles and amphibians found in Alberta, and the popular reptiles in the pet trade today. We take a look at the needs of these unique creatures and some of the conservation efforts and laws that are out there to protect the wild populations. This presentation includes a PowerPoint and interactive activity.
