The Problem

Shed Your Fears - Reptile Education is a program that I started to educate people of all ages the value of reptiles. Many people think that snakes are vile, evil creatures that are just out to get us. In my program, I give people the chance to see, touch, and learn about snakes, lizards, as well as other reptiles and amphibians. The best way to teach someone about something, is to allow them to have hands-on experience. Children are the next generation, if I can teach them that these animals are important to our ecosystem, maybe they will grow up to be the conservationists and biologists that save these animals. Snakes have had a bad rap since the beginning of time, and I intend to change that. I volunteer at schools, youth group centers, parties, art shows, and anywhere else I can spread the good word of reptiles. Visit my website at: http://www.freewebs.com/shedyourfears/
