Discover the breadth of our repertoire of reptiles* and be fascinated by these scaly animals that make up our large family.
* For ethical and sanitary reasons, Éducazoo does not work with all species of caimans, crocodiles, and alligators.
Snakes (ophidians)
Lizards (saurians)
Turtles (chelonians)
The snake is one of the favorites during our animations!
All species are gentle, non-venomous and safe to handle. If you have a phobia or a disgust*, this is the perfect time to overcome this fear in the company of your naturalist.
* Mention it at the time of booking so that we can plan a small colorful specimen.

Description
This lizard comes from Asia (Pakistan, India, Iran et Afghanistan). In adulthood, its size varies from 20 to 25 cm (with the tail) and its longevity is 10 to 20 years. Colouration: yellow and orange.
Handling
This specie practices autotomy, meaning it has the ability to lose its tail when he's afraid and it can regenerate entirely. Therefore, great care must be taken and avoid touching this part of the body. This small lizard is calm and docile, which can easily be held in the hands.
For young participants, the manipulation is done with the supervision of the naturalist either by placing it on the legs or by touching it. Older children or adults can usually hold them in their hands.

A partnership with Environment Canada allows us to hold unique items seized at customs that come from poaching (ivory tusks, python skin, furs, sea turtle shells, etc.).
These pieces are used in some of our animations in order to sensitize the public to behave responsibly when consuming animal products. We also teach them the importance of wildlife conservation and the repercussions of poaching on animal populations.
