RENOVO – It was an evening all about laughs, scales and certainly education as over 75 people attended the Forgotten Friend Reptile Sanctuary at the Renovo Area Public Library.

Jesse Rothacker of Elm PA made the long trip to the Renovo Library as the herpetologist combined learning with plenty of surprises and laughs as well as over a dozen reptiles.

Nearly all of the creatures were able to be handled by even the smallest members of the audience, whose ‘oohs and ahhs’ were a constant throughout the evening. From baby tortoises to 75 pound adults, snakes and lizards and everything in between thrilled the crowded library throughout the nearly two hour presentation.
