Another snake has been found at a recycle plant in Portland. Although the snake looks like a Python to me they say they have no idea what kind of snake it is. 2 years ago they found a much larger snake that had been dumped in a recycle bin. They have no idea where it came from as they dont tract what bins come from where but they are urging people not to dump dead animals in the bins because it drags down the process and no doubt give some a fright.

EDMONTON REPTILE & AMPHIBIAN SOCIETY
The Edmonton Reptile and Amphibian Society (ERAS) was founded in 1994. Our objectives are the promotion of the study and conservation of reptiles and amphibians and the facilitation of communication between society members. These goals are met by publishing a society journal, hosting lectures in herpetology, offering to support related to environmental and animal welfare interest groups, and providing opportunities for members to meet and discuss topics relating to reptiles, amphibians and invertebrates.
Educating our members and the public on topics such as reptile conservation and proper reptile husbandry is an ongoing endeavor. Even so, many animals are abandoned or surrendered because of various reasons, including time restrictions, loss of interest or downright neglect. Since its inception, the Reptile Rescue Program can testify to its success with the placement of over 500 animals.
Guess what is right around the corner? That is right! The Edmonton Reptile and Amphibian Society’s annual Spring Show & Sale crawls, slithers and climbs it’s way into the Sands Hotel the second weekend in May! The exact dates of this year’s expo is Saturday, May 14th from 10am until 5pm and Sunday, May 15th from 11am until 4pm. This show is a fantastic opportunity to learn about reptiles, amphibians and invertebrates and the proper care needed to keep them healthy and happy as pets. This show is expected to be the biggest ERAS show ever with over 40 vendors covering nearly 85 tables. There will be lots of animals on display as well as available to purchase from local Canadian breeders and enthusiasts. You’ll also find an assortment of feeders, supplies, enclosures and accessories available to fill all your herp-related needs! As an adult you’ll only need $6 to gain access while teens and children need only $5 and $4 respectively. And best of all children 3 and under and all ERAS members get in for free!
