Ron McGee, known as “Python Ron,” brought his traveling reptile kingdom to the Morgan Hill Library July 14 to give local children a chance to get up close and personal with giant snakes and other critters they’re unlikely to encounter anywhere else near their homes.
The kids and their parents learned all about the albino python, black and white tegu, bearded dragon, Borneo roughneck lizard, African spur tortoise and other reptiles while getting a chance to pet and hold the animals.
Python Ron’s Reptile Kingdom is based in Modesto. McGee and his animals travel the state to give educational and entertaining hands-on presentations about “the world of reptiles, spiders and insects,” according to his website, pythonron.com.
The July 14 presentation at the Morgan Hill Library, 660 W. Main Ave., is one event in a summer filled with educational programs for children at the site. For more information about summer learning and events at the library, visit sccl.org/Locations/Morgan-Hill.
