🐢🐊 Reptile Man 🐊🐢
Tuesday, June 11th
We are excited to announce the return of Reptile Man!
Some of you may remember him. Before Covid, Betz would regularly receive a visit from the Reptile Man from Monroe, WA. Scott Petersen, "The Reptile Man", brings LIVE snakes, turtles, and alligators to our school. During the school day, he will give 2 presentation for our students.
That evening, families are invited to bring the entire family in for his final presentation. He will have many live reptiles that he will talk about. After his show, you can actually hold and pet some of them! While providing the daytime shows to our students for FREE, there will be admission to the evening show of $2 per person. He will also have merchandise for sale. This helps cover the cost of his trip to Betz, so please come out to support him and enjoy a night out with the family!
