Reptile Rally

Come with us on a field trip to Petco to learn about some of God's amazing animals.


Our guide, James, showed us an Australian White's Tree Frog. They live in rainforests in Australia. It looks cute now, but just wait til this fella grows up.


This is a Russian Tortoise. He likes to dig. His native land is the Black Forest.


He's very handsome.


This colorful Chinese Water Dragon loves to swim. He uses his long tail as a rudder. He was pretty docile.


When James flipped him over on his back, he just lay there and almost went to sleep. How sweet!


Josiah got to hold a baby bearded dragon and he was thrilled!


This one is only a few months old.


This one that a customer brought in, is approximately 5 years old. They are also native to Australia.


Josiah said it felt spikey.


Another customer brought in a leopard gecko pair. This is the female that Josiah is holding.


You can tell he was really enjoying this experience.


This one is the male. They store their food in their tails. Can you tell?


While Josiah is holding the male, Hannah got to hold the female.


She was very comfortable with it.



It got comfortable with her, too.

And last, but not least. . . the winner of the Reptile Beauty Contest


"Sunny", the unspotted leopard gecko!

Hope you enjoyed the show and no, we did not come home with any more reptiles to add to our collection.
