You will also have the rare opportunity to touch and interact with a few under supervision. Let guest speaker, Keelin Klein, UGA student and herpetology enthusiast, provide a deeper understanding of these neat animals, practical care tips, and maybe even introduce you to a new favorite scaly or slippery friend.
