Representatives of Swietokrzyskie Terrarium Forum have prepared the exposition featuring many interesting reptiles and invertebrates which come from different parts of the world. The exposition will be held during the first Targi Kielce ZOO Exhibition from 19th to 20th November. Boa snakes, colubrid snakes, pythons and geckos, monitor lizards, tortoises and lizards turn out to be perfect pets to be kept at home. Some rare exhibits will for the first time be put on display in Poland. The attendants will be given the chance to see the snake which was captured when being smuggled in a fruit cargo as well as the world’s longest lizard and the smallest representatives of the boa family.

Swietokrzyskie Terrarium Forum was formed in 2008; its objective is to foster appropriate attitudes among beginner owners. Many of the forum members have now turned to be professional and they want to present their collections to larger groups of people. The exhibition will also feature a series of short educational workshops devoted to snakes and natural environment protection which is the natural habitat for reptiles in Poland as well as the principles regarding breeding of potentially dangerous species and breeding ethics.

All the animals will be put on display in specially designed terrariums which imitate natural living conditions of particular species and safety of the exhibits. There will also be a presentation of GRS modes of operations (GRS is a special group which specialises in dangerous animals capturing). Exhibition guests will also be informed how to act in the case someone is bitten by a common viper. The guests can also seek advice on how to breed exotic animals at home as well as meet people who take care of such animals in they day-to-day work.
