Repping the rainforest

What’s green and has scales? Reptiles. Well, they’re not all green, but they’re an important part of rainforests, deserts and other biomes. And they’ll be well represented at the 14th annual Sacramento Reptile Show, happening this weekend at the Sacramento Convention Center. Along with being able to see alligators, snakes and dozens of other reptile species, you can buy reptiles and reptile pet gear, and learn about how to save wild-frog populations. There will also be a rainforest exhibition, guest speakers and children’s activities. It happens October 29 and 30. Visit www.sacreptileshow.com for more information.
