"Compassion for animals is intimately associated with goodness of character." -Arthur Schopenhauer
Beyond the enjoyment of having fun animals to observe, we model responsibility, empathy, and gentleness by caring for these school friends.
Odette was rescued from a reptile shelter at the age of three by LeighAnn. She was kept in poor conditions and had to have surgery to correct a bowel issue shortly before she was adopted She is an extra-friendly and gentle dragon whose favorite activities consist of bath time, eating salad, going EVERYWHERE with her humans, and snuggling on the couch before her evening sleep.
Cal was adopted by Renee and her husband, Kyle, at the age of five. He is a very friendly and calm dragon whose favorite activities consist of cuddles on the couch, basking in the heat, and bath time. He is currently working on changing his feedings to salads and live crickets because he is a thick boy.
Artemis is a two-year-old leopard gecko with a sweet smile and a passion for hunting crickets. We acquired her via a family who did not have adequate time for her care. Her favorite activities are hanging in her wet hide, going on shoulder rides, and introducing herself with a lick.
Bilbo is friendly to everyone, and has a good sense of humor. His favorite activities are swimming on his side and following your finger around the tank.
Disclaimer: Our reptiles are observational in nature and will not be handled by the children. We will allow children to aid in prepping their food or with other non-contact care. Everyone is up to date on veterinarian care and has tested negative for parasites and salmonella, but out of an abundance of caution, adults will handle the reptiles outside of center hours. Any changes to classroom animals will come with a notification in writing.
