Thanks to the Early Years Family Resource Centre’s Welcome Week, parents and their children had the opportunity to look at some amazing reptiles, brought by the Adventure Wranglers. The kids had the chance to pet and hold incredible animals, while learning some interesting facts about those reptiles and their importance to the environment.
Wrangler Elisa and her team brought eight animals with them, seven reptiles and one arachnid - a turtle, a king snake, a corn snake, a ball python, a gecko, a tortoise, a black and white tegu, and a tarantula.
The children were ecstatic to see and learn about the reptiles, and they were even more excited when they were able to touch and hold them. Parents were also extremely intrigued with the reptiles, and everyone was encouraged to take photos. The knowledge that Wrangler Elisa was able to bring revealed the passion she and her team have about their reptiles.
"As we expand as the human species, we are constantly interrupting their habitats; we are encroaching on their territory, so, creating that love and respect for reptiles at a young age is very important,” said Wrangler Elisa.
Reptiles take up a significant part of the Adventure Wranglers but they also work with parrots, dogs, hedgehogs, and even bunnies.
Previously, the Adventure Wranglers were known as the Sask Reptile Show and have expanded their show to also include British Columbia and Manitoba.
The Early Years Family Resource Centre loved seeing all the families enjoy their time at the facility during Welcome Week.
