This isn't your average story time.
Fleet Library have a fun workshop for more adventurous little ones who like the idea of lizards, snakes, and other interesting reptiles. Pete from Pete's Pet Emporium will be bringing along his scaly menagerie for a hands on
Reptile Show on Friday
February 16th at
10am.
The Reptile Show is an opportunity for children to touch, hold and learn about a whole variety of reptiles and creepy crawlies. The types of animals that might come along include lizards, tortoises, scorpions, bugs, spiders and more. Kids will get a hands on look at what it's like raising reptiles and home and they'll also learn some interesting facts about these creatures in the wild.
Pete's Pet Emporium is a pet store with locations in Sandhurst and Aldershot. They stock small pets like gerbils, hamsters, kittens and more, but they'll also track down rare and exotic reptiles for specialty pet owners. As well as running a pet store, Pete's Pet Emporium also bring their Reptile Show to schools, libraries and other community centres to give kids an opportunity to handle and learn about some creatures they wouldn't normally come face-to-face with in everyday life.
