Sacramento Reptile Expo

beautifully colored snakes at the reptile expo

This last weekend I joined Tom, Karole and Rolf for a trip downtown to check out the reptile expo. Lots of neat reptiles to see, I had fun photographing the chameleons as usual and we got to play with an emperor scorpion under a blacklight to observe how it glowed. Scorpions have a florescent compound in their outer shell/cuticle and they’re nocturnal hunters which makes a blacklight a perfect tool for scorpion hunting. Anyway we had a good time and later Ric joined Tom, Karole and I for a delicious mexican dinner.
