	Touching a rattling rattlesnake rattle. When the business end of the rattle snake is protected within the tube, children can safely touch a rattlesnake's rattle as it rattles.

"Cuddles" (right) is a 110 pound Alligator Snapping Turtle used in one of Mr. Schwartzman's popular talks. The African Spur Tortoise (left) is also one of a variety of live animals utilized in the "Triple T" program, "Tortoises, Turtles, and Terrapins".
