Science club had a visitor last week - actually, we had several.  Tom from Creature Planet came to give us a talk about reptiles - he was accompanied by a python, a corn snake, a terrapin, a praying mantis, hissing cockroaches, a Cuban knight anole (?!), not to mention a Brazilian tree-frog and, of course, an enormous rat (click for more pics).
