The festival is once again highlighted by annual crowd-favorite, Mark Kilby, of the Luray Zoo, who is scheduled to show-off a king cobra, timber rattlesnake, copperhead, alligator, gila monster and others during his special presentations that are scheduled for 10:30 a.m. “Regardless of which end of the spectrum you’re at, a universal curiosity with these animals is also prevalent and Reptile Day has become a tremendously popular way for people to indulge these curiosities.” "Reptiles, and snakes in particular, are such polarizing animals that seem to have most people either loving them or hating them,” said Zach Ryder, marketing and public relations manager at the museum. Visitors are also allowed the opportunity to handle a variety of the animals on display. Reptile Day presents a unique opportunity for visitors to see over 100 live snakes and other reptiles, while allowing presenters to demonstrate how reptiles play a critical role in the environment and, most often, a harmless role in peoples' day-to-day lives. to 3 p.m.!
