ARRS Current Events

On 20 June 2009, ARRS in conjunction with the Alabama Wildlife
Center @ Oak Mountain State Park held the 1st Annual Alabama
Reptile & Amphibian Conservation Expo. It was a tremendous
success. The Expo featured over 25 native species of amphibians
& reptiles, including a rarely seen Slender Glass lizard, 4 types of
venomous snakes found in Alabama, and a unique display of the
life cycle of a frog.

We had a great turn out that day. Thanks to the Alabama Wildlife
Center and all who attended. Below are some pictures from our
event:

Spring is baby time, and we have had quite a few: Five
lined skinks, Dekays Brown Snakes, and Ring-necked
Snakes. All the babies came from reptiles we had on
display for the Expo. All adults and babies were returned
to the wild where they came from.
