Fascinated by Reptiles? Large Expo Comes to Albany this Month

Do you know anyone who is fascinated by reptiles?  While most of us shudder at the thought of holding a slithery snake or placing a large hairy spider on our shoulder, others can't get enough.

But that's part of the mystery and curiosity of lizards, dinosaurs, crocodiles, turtles, and snakes—all of whom belong to the ancient and stout class of animals known as reptiles.
