Default Hop Farm Reptile Weekend (Kent)

Don't know if anyone has seen this but if you're local might be worth a look or a day out for the kids anyway

Amazon to Outback Reptile Experience

Saturday 17th to Sunday 18th May 2008

Pythons, Alligators, Iguana's, Lizards, Frogs, Boa Constrictors, Spiders....

The Amazon to Outback Reptile Experience will be a unique display of reptiles, invertabrates and Amphibian. Hundreds of species will be on show at The Hop Farm 17 - 18 May creating our own animal kingdom with the sights, sounds and smells of a tropical rainforest.

Experts will be on site giving feeding demonstrations and interactive educational presentations on each of the animals, showing the hunting behaviour of the American Alligator and husbandry techniques used for captive reptiles in the pet trade.

With this exceptional display of reptiles we hope to promote global wildlife conservation and spread awareness of ways to protect the animals.

Look Out For...

The American Alligator
Anaconda's
Dwarf Caiman
Iguana's
Burmese Pythons
Boa Constrictor's
Carpet Pythons
Alligator Snapping Turtles
And many more at The Amazon to Outback Reptile Experience

Sorry, I can't remember. I also can't find the article, I think it ended up as snake substrate.
