October 16th – Reptile Habitats – In this fun camp we will be learning about all the many places reptiles can live! We’ll talk about what factors can affect their habitat, like water and temperature. We’ll also learn about what different reptiles do during seasons. (There will be some friendly reptiles to handle during this camp.)
October 17th – Reptile Diets – During this awesome camp we will discuss the food chain with relation to reptiles! We’ll learn about the differences between herbivores, carnivores, omnivores and insectivores. (There will be a variety of reptiles at this camp. Some good for holding, some just for looking at.)
October 18th – Reptile Hunting & Defense Mechanisms – During this exciting camp we will be learning about many of the hunting & defense mechanisms that reptiles have or use! Things like camouflage, batesian and mullerian mimicry, aposematic color, venom, tail dropping heat sensing pits, rattling tails, and constriction. (There will be a variety of reptiles to meet and learn about in this camp.)
October 20th – Reptile Locomotion – Did you know that there are four different ways that a snake moves? During this fun camp we learn about lateral undulation, sidewinding, rectilinear, and concertina movement. How does a turtle walk vs. how a tortoise walks? Come to this camp to watch their different movements in person! (We will use a variety of animals to show how each one can move in a different way to get around!)
