Reptiles From Around the World Visit New Paltz

The SUNY New Paltz Biology Club was given an experience they will never forget. Reptiles from around the world were brought in by Tom Perpetua, a fourth-year journalism major at New Paltz, for an educational and hands-on experience. The animals were provided by Mark Perpetua’s Reptile Encounters, his father’s business that promotes education and conservation of reptiles.

The corn snake gets its name from the pattern on its stomach resembling indian corn.
