For the second year in a row, the Metropolitan Herpetological Society will be hosting an educational reptile & amphibian expo at the Blue Heron Park Nature Center.  The expo will take place on May 4, 2008.  It will be from 12-4pm.  Once again, the event will be free to the public. 

The event will feature live displays of a variety of reptile & amphibian species, including some native species.  Those taking tables at the event will include private breeders, advanced keepers, naturalists, veterinarians, etc.  Representatives of the Staten Island Zoo's Education Department will also be in attendance. 

The day coincides with Happy Herp Day at Blue Heron Park.  NYC Urban Park Rangers will be leading walks around the ponds & trails in search of local native reptile & amphibian species that inhabit the park.

The event should be a lot of fun, so come on down and check it out!
