Join staff naturalists from Jesse H. Jones Park and Nature Center in Humble, Texas to learn all about snakes, turtles, tortoises and more! Learn about fascinating reptiles found in Texas and across the U.S., including how to identify them, what they eat, how they live their lives, and what to do if you encounter one in the wild. We might even get a bonus visit from “Lucky”, the 13 ft. Burmese python! Whether reptiles fascinate you or not, they play an important role in nature, and this is your opportunity to learn more and meet them up close and personal!
