A Closer Look – About the Artist:
Reptiles Alive! is a traveling wildlife education organization based
in the northern Virginia and Washington DC area. Their award winning
live animal shows feature amazing examples of reptilian life presented
by dynamic wildlife educators. Since 1996, Reptiles Alive! has performed
thousands of animal shows at schools, festivals, libraries, and special
events. Each year, their reptiles are featured at venues including
The Smithsonian, The Discovery Channel, Virginia State Parks, and hundreds
of other venues, large and small.
All of the animals are ‘rescue reptiles’ from shelters, animal
control, police departments, and wildlife agencies. They are non-releasable,
so they are provided with a permanent home in the Northern Virginia facility
and given the best care possible. Read more about the animals on their ‘Kids
pages’ at http://www.reptilesalive.com/kids/kids1scales.html.
