October is Nebraska Reptile Month, and the Nebraska Game and Parks Commission is partnering with the School of Natural Resources to host a large-scale, family-friendly reptile fun night.
The reptile fun night is 4:30 to 7:30 p.m. Oct. 24 in Hardin Hall, 33rd and Holdrege streets. Husker herpetologist Dennis Ferraro will have an exhibit of snakes, lizards and turtles of Nebraska. Along with live animals, there will be touch stations, coloring stations, turtle activities, snake activities and many educational booths dedicated to educating Nebraskans on the importance and awesomeness of native reptiles in the state.
The event is free and open to the public. The first 200 families will take home a reptile swag bag. Food trucks will also be on the premises.
