CHILDREN experienced the wild side of nature last week during school holidays and got their hands on the reptile displays at Cranbourne Homecentre.
On Tuesday 7 April, school kids were given the rare chance to meet and greet a variety of scaly, slithering animals.
Parents watched as their children braved the cold-blooded creatures which included snakes, lizards, frogs and a crocodile.
The youngsters were also taught how to handle the animals correctly, as well as the reptiles’ role in nature and learnt how to treat a snakebite.
Parents were kept nothing short of entertained as they watched on with coffees in hand, with the children also later treated to creative craft workshops from Lincraft.
