[Mark K]

I am posting this in the conservation section because this is a great learning opportunity for youngsters and adults alike.

The DNR comes out with pretty much every reptile and amphibian native to illinois. Members of CHS bring their own animals out for display.

 

All kinds of snakes, lizards, frogs, gators, monitors...you name it.

 

This isn't a reptile sale. It's all about education. A really great show.

I'll be there on Sunday; The CHS is one of the largest and most well known herp societies in the country, and some of the world's most respected herpetologists are members. It's a fantastic show, and a huge portion of the proceeds go to conservation.
