Open House this Saturday - 1/6/18! Come meet our new baby ball pythons and see our other animals! 🐍🐢🕷

Pearl our albino ball python is gravid! 😊 Ag program and museum alum Kristy Mickelson brought her portable ultrasound machine to the museum today to confirm Pearl's condition. Thank you, Kristy!

We hold an open house every 1st and 3rd Saturday of the month from 11:00AM to 3:00PM. Here are some photos of the fun!

Our last Animal of the Week for summer is the Kenyan Sand Boa, also known as the East African Sand Boa! Although they may look the same, every one of these snakes has a unique pattern, like a fingerprint. The Kenyan Sand Boa is built for burrowing and spends a lot of time under their terrain, evading predators, hunting, and regulating their body temperature.

Join us Saturday August 26th for the Big Bug Bash!

Nicole is one of two Crested Geckos at the museum. These arboreal (tree dwelling) lizards come from New Caledonia, which is a group of islands that rest between Fiji and Australia. When a Crested Gecko drops their tail they end up with a little nub, like Nicole, because their tails do not regenerate. "Taillessness" is common and very normal for adults, especially in the wild.

This week's animal of the week is our Chilean Rose Tarantula, also known as the Rose Hair Tarantula. These tarantulas can be found in the desert regions of Chile and come in a variety of colors, from grey to pink to red/brown! Do you want to see this wonderfully photogenic little guy? Come to our open house this Saturday from 11am-3pm!

This week's animal of the week is our Lavender Tiger Reticulated Python! While most captive Reticulated Pythons come from Indonesia and Malaysia, they are found in a wide range through Southeast Asia.

White Tree Frogs are native to Northern and Eastern Australia and New Guinea. These frogs can reach up to 5 inches in length but most adults are between 4 and 4.5 inches. White Tree Frogs frequently change colors and can be anywhere from a bright green to olive color. Due to their appearance they are also commonly called "dumpy tree frogs" 🐸

Come to the museum's open house tomorrow and check out some of our new tenants! We will be there from 11am-3pm 🐍🦎🐢
