Typically our photo of the day is of an amazingly beautiful animal, but today we would like to take a moment to congratulate the Chicago Herpetological Society on another very successful ReptileFest. ReptileFest is the longest running, all educational event about reptiles. This event as occurred for over 20 years. The view from above of the Box Turtle pen in 2003, uploaded by kingsnake.com user PHFaustis not only a blast from the past, but also a shining example of hands-on education needed to in our community!
