I'm going to help host a booth to promote reptile education and care with one of my local reptile soceities. I'm bringing a few animals and making info cards to put in front of each one.

So far I'm listing:
common name
latin name
native range
adult size
cage requirements

What else do you think I should include? Temperature requirements? oo maybe also life span
Thanks!
-April

this is what I have right now, I guess it looks fine like it is but if anyone thinks I should add more, let me know (and yes, I am using my own photos)

care level - that's a great idea, thanks Amanda!
I'm going to leave off temperment only because the corn I'm bringing.. well she's a biter
(and is going to stay in her enclosure!)
:D
 
Maybe list their diet if you even think it needs to be said.
Or perhaps a fun fact about the animal if there's room? Something like "Also known as the red rat snake" or "Corns come in over ### different variations" or "Were named because the pattern on their belly resembles the kernels on indian corn" (Is that right? I forget...)

I think it looks good already though. Very neat, you did a great job! :thumbsup:
 
thanks Autumn, I used some of those talking points during the show.

Our club had a great time, lots of people came up to the booth and got to touch a snake and/or lizard for the first time, lots of positive feedback; a few people gave us a wide berth... haha. I wore my USARK tshirt of course! A couple pics from the show, there are more at the link if anyone wants to check it out:

Our club founder Edgar brought his awesome purple albino retic, most of us took turns hanging out with her in front of the booth, she was big hit!

I walked over in front of the HSUS booth to show off how nice and friendly my corn was
:dgrin:

HAH! Yeah, you show 'em! :p
lol but is Ruby the one you said was a biter? She seems so chill in the photos. XD

Wish I could have seen it! I really should look into a society near me.... *wanders off to check*

haha no, the biter is Garnet who is a nice big normal. I decided to leave that one at home since Ruby would be a better 'ambassador'; she did great, had her out for almost the entire show (8 hrs).
