SCOUT SHOWS!!

|
A Snakes-N-Scales presentation is a unique experience. Our shows are thematic so you can choose which show your Troop, Den or Pack prefers or have us back many times and not see the same show! We use jokes, stories, "animal's-eye" views of the world, anecdotes, factoids, questions and answers and a gentle, controlled, touching experience to make everyone laugh, think and feel. They will laugh because it's fun, so they will remember it. They will think, thanks to our engaging, experienced teachers. They will touch some animals so they will feel its reality and hopefully someday, when they look back on this event, remember and understand that these creatures are our neighbors on Earth. We can handle anything from a Den meeting with a few scouts in it, to Blue & Gold Dinners with 200+ people.
NJ Reptiles - We can even help your Pack, or Den, qualify for a badge with 8-10 native NJ species; or mix it up with a few exotics as well. If you like, we can bring display cages and give your whole group a quiz that same day.

THE STRANGE WORLD OF REPTILES

As part of the program, behaviors, habitats, adaptations, predator-prey relations, relationships with humans, individual animal personality and whether these animals are appropriate pets will be introduced.

EXTINCTION IN THE TROPICAL RAINFOREST
Habitat destruction, invasive or alien species, population, pollution and overdevelopment make up the "HIPPO" that is destroying the tropical rainforests of the world. Reptiles and amphibians are used as representatives of the effects these processes create.
|
THE GOOD, THE ICKY AND THE SLIMY
Insects and arachnids, (bugs and spiders) along with frogs and snakes are thought to be "icky" by many people. The facts about these creatures are even stranger than the fictions people have created!

YER DESSSPICABLE!!
Movie monsters are almost always based on living creatures. The incredible effects of modern film make the monster seem more real than the animals they were made from! This presentation looks at the anacondas, alligators, tarantulas, scorpions and others that live in our real world.
|
DINOSAURS AND FOSSILS
This program looks at the facts and the theories about dinosaurs using actual fossils and replicas. We will compare dinosaurs with a living alligator and lizard.Thinking scientifically will be fostered as well as a basic understanding of evolution and extinction.

REPTILES IN MYTHOLOGY, CULTURE AND HISTORY
Reptiles have penetrated our consciousness and our society to a deep and surprising degree.

The cultures of Ancient Egypt, Rome Polynesia, Medieval Europe and the Modern West are touched upon.
