SPEAKER
& TOPIC :
Tonight
is “
Show & Tell Night ”, a different kind of meeting for
a change. Bring in one to three of
your favorite herp or invertebrate pets this evening to show off, tell the
group why you chose it, where it’s from, what it eats, how you take care of
it at home, and anything else you’d care to share about it.
This will be a hands-on meeting in which we hope you’ll introduce your
pets to others who may not be familiar with those kinds.
Bring your cameras too, as there’ll be plenty of great photo ops.
If you have CB babies from your pets’ captive breeding efforts, bring
them along too to offer to other members. Don’t
forget holding cages for everything!
MEETING SITE : In Ft. Myers, Florida at the Calusa
Nature Center , near Colonial Blvd. (S. R. 884) and Interstate
75. Get off I-75 at exit #136 (old exit #22) and go west (towards the coast) on
884 (Colonial Blvd.) for one-half mile, then turn right at the first traffic
light onto Ortiz Ave., and then left into the Nature Center after only
one-quarter mile. The Iona House meeting site is an older dark green house
located to the left (as you enter the grounds) at the rear of the complex, back
near where the school busses are parked. The meeting opens at 7:00 pm,
and the speaker usually starts no later than 7:15 pm. Non-members
must pay $3.00 at the door to attend the meeting. Click HERE
for a map to the meeting site. After this
meeting, all attendees are invited to join "the core" for an informal
nightcap at Uno's Pizzeria on Daniels Rd. just west of I-75. We will gather
there after this meeting which ends at 8:30 pm.
WHO'S INVITED ? You are! Anyone with an interest in any aspect of herpetology or herpetoculture is welcome to attend, learn, and exchange their experiences with our friendly membership. Come out to meet others who keep, breed or study reptiles and amphibians, and let them share their fascination with you. We average 35 – 70 people attending every meeting.
Cookies and cold soda, a nightly raffle of live herps, herp products, and books follow each speaker's talk, and lots of herp camaraderie, gossip, and fun can be counted upon at all meetings !
