This is my experience with maternal protection with timbers: I had seen this snake earlier in the year and its response was always to quickly retreat back into its crevice. However when I found this snake the day I took this photo it was originally in its crevice, but after I stood there for a minute or so it came out of its crevice and sat in front of the babies and rattled. Just one experience but it was certainly neat, and not a behavior I had seen prior.The first photo is about a minute before the second. New York. Timber Rattlesnake (Crotalus horridus)

I was really into the signs all over ReptileFest- they all sent home messages of responsibility and the actual challenges of owning different species. Very refreshing- you never see stuff like this at breeder shows (because they want everyone to buy things)!

Another thing i was really into: there was zero gate keeping at this event. Even kids- junior herpers- were demonstrating and educating about animals. The event was super family friendly and accessible, and there didn’t seem to be anything like a boys’ club. Very neat.
