Reptile Party

It's been weeks since you took your reptile out on the town, and he's starting to complain that the two of you never go anywhere. It's a good thing the 24^th annual Reptile and Amphibian Show is coming up this Labor Day weekend at OMSI, where you're invited to BYOBearded Lizard to one of the largest gatherings of reptiles and amphibians in the Pacific Northwest.

Introduce your scaly companion to over 100 exotic animals, including captive-bred snakes, lizards, turtles, alligators and more. Ask questions of the experts, hobnob with other enthusiasts and enjoy the rare opportunity to talk about your exotic pet for hours without alienating everyone within earshot.

The Reptile and Amphibian show will be held September 4-6, and is free with museum admission. Just make sure to register in advance so others know to keep their scrappy Eastern Box Turtles away from your deadly Komodo Dragon.
