Reptile Awareness Day is October 21.
What will you be doing in celebration of Reptile Awareness Day? Reptiles, of all animals, are probably some of the least understood in the animal kingdom.

After all, what is a squirrel as compared to a rat?
Both are rodents. Yet one is more beloved than the other because it has a bushy tail. In celebration, I will be speaking with one person about reptiles and the importance of these animals to the environment and how they can make interesting pets.
