Reptiles at Risk

Steve and Robin along the Grand River...

Steve here! Quite the contrast from last week! Instead of being on the Canadian Shield with Crystal, this week, I'm in the Carolinian Zone with Robin. No snow storms and no broken down vehicles! We're staying at Robin's boyfriend Andrew's house for the week, so we're based in Waterloo, deep in the city nestled between Quizno's and one of the fanciest looking LCBO's I've ever seen! From here we'll radiate out all week to smaller towns in the area. Here at the house
there are 9 people living all tucked away in individual apartments. Most of them are engineering students at Waterloo University. They were really receptive, and quite thrilled to get their own private snake show!!

Our first school was in Fergus, and was mostly younger kids, grades 3-6. It was really FUN! The kids were great, and we got lots of stories of rattlesnakes at Killbear Provincial Park, and at the cottage!
