Reptile Awareness Day

Reptiles are everywhere, and serve an important role in the ecosystem of whatever biome they’re a part of.

The truth of the matter is that reptiles are a vital part of a healthy environment, with common snakes helping to keep down bugs and rodents that would love to make a nest in your home.

Reptile Awareness Day is an excellent opportunity to educate yourself on the wonders of the scaly world, and perhaps learn an appreciation for them.

How to Celebrate Reptile Awareness Day:

There is a myriad of fascinating and educational ways to celebrate Reptile Awareness Day.

If you’re looking for a RADical time, you can gather together with local enthusiasts to share your pets, and your stories of love and living with them.

Stop down and visit your local pet stores and see the variety of options they have for making reptiles a part of your life, or just volunteer at a local rescue to help familiarise yourself with the critters that give so many the shivers.

Finally, organise a trip to a local zoo to see the larger reptiles in the world today, and maybe stop in at your local museum to discover their ancient ancestors, the dinosaurs.

Everything animal today, at one point or another, is descended from reptiles, so go get to know your ancient ancestors.
