On Wednesday, Feb. 26, Carlyle Cornerstone Family and Youth Centre (CFY) hosted The Saskatchewan Reptile Show.
Honoured reptile guests included: The “red tagu” lizard native to Argentina, Bolivia and Paraguay; The “blue tongued skink” which is found in Australia; The “leopard gecko” found in the highlands of Asia, throughout Afghanistan and northern India; The “ball python” is home to West and Central Africa; The “corn snake” makes it home in Southeastern and Central USA and The “painted turtle” which can be found in North America from Southern Canada to Mexico.
The special presentation was held during the regular Parent and Child Playdate that CFY co-ordinates at the Southeast Regional Library in Carlyle.
There were 30 intrigued kids in attendance and surprisingly, only a couple of them were adverse to the reptiles.
They were allowed to handle the animals under the supervision of Wrangler Chris, who was the presenter of the reptiles and made the journey to Carlyle from Colonsay, where the animals reside and are provided shelter.
Be sure to check with the Southeast Regional Library and CFY for events and programs in the community.
