SNAKES ALIVE!!
Snakes Alive! is on again this January, very soon, at the Botanic Gardens as usual. Here are the details, from the ACTHA webpage.
14 - 20 JANUARY
AT THE AUSTRALIAN NATIONAL BOTANIC GARDENS
Snakes Alive! is an annual week-long exhibition showcasing a variety of Australian reptiles and amphibians, many of which are threatened, endangered and very rarely seen in the wild or captivity:
Snakes, Lizards, Frogs, Turtles, Crocodiles! Members of the public receive an exceptional educational experience with the opportunity to learn about reptiles and amphibians in a hands-on way from dedicated ACT Herpetological Association volunteers. Snakes Alive! is open from 10am - 4pm daily with feeding times at 11am, 1pm and 2pm daily. It is at the Crosbie Morrison Building, near the cafe. The building is air conditioned, perfect for escaping those hot summer days! Funds raised through Snakes Alive! give ACTHA the opportunity to make donations to support regional conservation issues such as the Northern and Southern Corroboree Frog breeding programs and projects aimed at furthering reptile and amphibian protection and recovery, education, training, and research projects. You may see species local to the ACT and Southern Tablelands region, such as the highly endangered Northern Corroboree Frog (Pseudophryne corroboree) and threatened species such as the Grassland Earless Dragon (Tympanocryptis pinguicolla) and Striped Legless Lizard (Delma impar). |
