In this class we will learn about reptiles from around the world and their adaptations. The students will learn about the specific traits that reptiles may have to allow them to survive in their natural environment. For example what makes these snakes well-suited for their environment? Why do these tortoises have spurs on their legs? How does this lizard need to eat to survive in its habitat? This is an interactive session that has live animals being shown to the class and will allow for questions and answers as well. No prior experience of knowledge required. Just bring smiling face!
Learning Goals
Students will learn interesting vocabulary regarding reptile adaptations and how they have developed to survive and thrive in their habitats. They will also get to see some animals on the call to see their features and behaviors.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Join our classes to learn about hundreds of different reptile and amphibian species!
All of the animals that live at our sanctuary were in captivity at some point in their lives. Some of the animals needed to be relocated to new zoos, if the one they are living at shuts down, but most are confiscated illegal pets that people try to keep in their homes. This includes various venomous snakes (like a Black Mamba) and even crocodiles!
Our curriculum will focus on the various habitats, adaptations, and behaviors of each animal we talk about, including their status of endangerment with different conservation efforts!
The mission statement of our organization is to "Promote conservation and preservation of native and non-native reptiles through education, rehabilitation, rescue, and relocation".
Our teachers have various certifications in education and science, including a Bachelor's in Biological Science (Animal Physiology and Behavior) from ASU, and certificates from the Arizona Association for Environmental Education. Reviews
