Spectrum Days 2000 / Medicine Hat
Medicine Hat News - Monday, June 5, 2000  - Tim Campbell

There will be an animal show, Wrappin About Reptiles, which includes iguanas, pythons, tortoises, and turtles. "I think some of them they're even allowed to hold and pet," Laury Waller said, summer co-ordinator for Spectrum Days 2000.

        "Hey dad, look at this snake," said Cameron Robinson, 6, as his brother peeks over his shoulder. The two are drawn to the next cage, searching for the Albino Jungle Cornsnake.  "I found him, dad, right there, see in the trees," Cameron said, his finger up against the glass. "They love this stuff," said Rick Robinson. The boys have a lot of animal and reptile books at home.  

        "Ooh, look at this guy," said four-year old Caleb, slipping behind his brother and moving to the tarantula.  "(They) would look at them all day long if they could," Robinson said.
