OT: lizard day in miami

beardiedragon Jul 12, 2004 09:30 AM

I brought Fred my Red Tegu, a blue tongue skink and a couple of Florida Orange BDs to Lizard day at the Miami museum of science for their 6th annual lizard day. Lots of Igs and BD were there and a few real exotics like a 5 foot asian water monitor. everyone had a great time and animal care was promoted.

I hope it is not very often. he looked really healthy...? Considering how so many people were ther promoting responsable herp ownership I was really surprised to see that too. She is a local show promotor so maybe it was just for PR? I still highly disapprove even if it were only the one time, it should not be done.
