My mother & I attended the Renaissance Faire yesterday, which is held in the town of Hollister CA (about 50 miles south of San Jose). We had a great time, and I was especially excited to see a "Creepy Crawly" corner! They had a small collection of herps & arachnids, which you could pet for $3... of course I didn't bother paying, as I can touch my own snakes for free, but I did get some nice photos.
Blue-tongued Skinks
Big 'ol Tortoise
Belly of an Apricot Pueblan Milk
Jungle Carpet Python... can't wait until mine gets this big!
Beautiful young Burmese, who was also very sweet.
The keeper promptly scolded the kid for doing this - "I told you not to touch their heads... they hate that!"
I'm pretty scared of spiders (ironic, I know), but this guy was kinda cute... maybe next time I'll get up the nerve to hold one?
