Ron's Reptiles

The Chico mom's group I joined had a play date at Ron's Reptiles on Tuesday.  I have officially found heaven for Jessica.  

 Allison could really care less about all the reptiles and was glad that my lap was free the whole afternoon to climb in and out of it as she pleased.  My lap was free because Jessica was going from one reptile to the next, a total sensory overload.

 This was the only time Jessica was in my lap... and the only time she frowned.

Here are a couple videos of  the snapping turtles, I used to have a pair of these when I was little.  We use to feed them goldfish in the bathtub and they would bite them in half.  Jessica doesn't care that I keep telling her that they will bite her fingers off.

 This giant tortoise was very tolerant of the kids.

 There are teachable moments too.

 Allison took her shoes off again.

Allison found her own mischief.  It had nothing to do with the reptiles though, she preferred digging in the dirt and wandering off into little crevices.

 Bearded Dragon.

Here are a couple videos of the Bearded Dragon.  Notice how the Dragon has a mouth full of lettuce, that was Jessica's contribution.  She stole the lettuce and fed it to the Dragon when the lady wasn't paying attention.

Jessica got to hold a python too.  These videos are hard to watch, you feel sorry for the snake.  She only wants to put the snake down at the end so she can hold another one.

 Giant Albino Python.

 This little green lizard had personality, and Jessica kept trying to break him out of his cage.

After watching all the videos back, I am very shocked that Jessica didn't get bitten at least once.  Those reptiles were very tame.
