We had 9 boys over for Evan’s 9th Birthday Party on Saturday. The highlight of the party was Scott Petersen, The Reptile Man, who brought a frog (the most difficult of all the animals catch), a lizard (who provided pieces of an old layer of skin as “gift bags”), a tortoise (who gave rides to the kids), an alligator (who fell asleep as soon as he was petted behind the eyes) and a half-dozen snakes (non-venemous and formerly venemous) including the albino python pictured above. Scott temporarily transformed our family room into a petting zoo. I don’t know who had more fun, the kids or the adults … or perhaps even the reptiles.

Coooooool!!! During my undergrad, I was the proud keeper of some 40 different frogs, lizards and turtles. They rock.
