Here are some pictures which I hope you find interesting of something the Minnesota Herpetological



Society has been involved with now for several years. We have an agreement with the MN Renaisannce



Festival where our herp society goes out and does a hands on type educational show every weekend



during the run of the festival. We get a bunch of volunteers together from the herp society who



bring out their animals to meet the public and give little one on one talks and answer questions with



people who wander by. We have a front fence where we display the snakes and lizards, an alligator



pond for the crocodilians, and a tortoise pen with a grassy area and some water barrels for tortoises



and water turtles.



It's also a very good fund raiser for our society as we get donations from the public and from the



people who put on the Renaissance festival so we can put on better shows and get better speakers for



our members at our monthly meetings and we can also then donate to various herp related causes.





Here's the gators and some of the people who work in the pond.











We have a few of the tortoises go out and walk around the festival grounds collecting donations







Angus the warrior tortoise is a perenial favorite, many of the patrons look forward to seeing him



year after year.







Then we have the fence where people show off their snakes and lizards.









































View out the front from the cottage.







Hope you liked the pics.
