Back by popular demand is Desert Dave’s Traveling Reptile Show. With his pockets full of lizards and a warm smile, genial host Desert Dave asks children to pet tortoises, talk to exotic lizards, inspect insects and touch a slithering 10-foot snake as part of his exciting and educational reptile show and “critter classroom”. “I give and interactive, educational presentation that is so up close and personal, kids never forget it,” said Desert Dave.
Like most kids growing up, Desert Dave was totally amazed by reptiles and reptile life. “Now as an adult, it’s so cool to be able to turn kids on to reptiles at a young age,” he said. Desert Dave, who lives in American Canyon and owns 50 exotic reptiles, gives a fascinating presentation that dispels the widespread belief that reptiles are mean. “The biggest misconception about reptiles is that they’re mean. The average reptile is extremely passive. Tortoises and lizards have the most personality.”
