The boa constrictor was followed by a smaller and less intimidating reptile, “Bea- ker,” a 15-year-old box turtle. Goudelock said Beaker is a male because he has red eyes. He said turtles and tortoises can live to be over 100 years old.
The next class of animals that Goudelock talked about was invertebrates, or insects. He said insects have six legs, three body parts, and an exo- skeleton.
“Are they as big as a cat, a dog, an elephant?” Goude- lock asked. “No. Compared to mammals, insects and bugs are relatively a lot smaller.”
Goudelock brought a con- tainer full of Madagascar hissing cockroaches as an ex-

“They hiss if they are
afraid or irritated,” he said. “They sound like a wind-up toy.”
Goudelock also talked about arachnids, also known as spiders. They have eight legs and two body parts.
Last, but not least, Goude- lock spoke about mammals. He said mammals have fur or hair, are warm-blooded, do not lay eggs and give milk to their young. Goudelock asked the audience to remain quiet as he opened a small cage and brought out a mam- mal named “Nala” - a timid, brown-colored rabbit.
After the show, Goude- lock invited the audience to view and touch an assortment of animal skeletons and skulls that he brought with him from The Discovery Center. This included snake scales, animal furs, antlers and a viper skel- eton.
At the end of the show, Terrance McArthur, a rep-

Eric Johnson from E&M's Reptile Family presented an entertaining show at Pioneer Park in June. The show was sponsored by the Fresno County Public Library system. Johnson brought with him different types of reptiles and animals including this Albino Burmese Python. Johnson has been presenting shows for the Reedley Library for 10 years. He and his wife, Michelle Johnson, care for over 80 animals at their home in Springville, most of which have been rescued. Johnson said it's important to read about animals in books before purchasing them as a pet.

“We talk about different kinds of animals and their characteristics so that chil- dren can learn to identify them,” he said. “It all con- nects for them. They are able to better understand the world around them and that’s what’s really important.”
