It took 12 brave volunteers to hold the large snake that Erik Callendar brought to the Rockville Centre Public Library.

Not everyone was a fan of the bullfrog that Erik showed around the room.

Earlier this month, Erik Callendar brought his traveling show, Erik’s Reptile EDventures, to the Rockville Centre library, to the delight of children.

Kids got the chance to get up close to the cool and the creepy, getting hands on with insects, lizards, snakes, tortoises and more. They got to touch and hold the animals and learned what made them all special. It was even a fun time for parents.
