Crunchy Sam's Reptiles & Invertebrates is an exotic animal show aimed at celebrating differences and finding common ground between humans and some of the stranger animals we share the planet with. The show combines life sciences, environmental stewardship, and the joys of seeing something new to bring smiles to faces and answers to questions. With lifelong creepy-crawly-catcher Sam Hunt, audiences will confront questions like "how similar am I to a giant hissing cockroach?" or "how do geckos stick to things without being sticky?" and the ever-present "what does that animal feel like?" Learning about animals is the best way to squash fears, build respect, and start conversations about caring for something entirely unlike yourself. Everyone appreciates nature, Sam just loves the crunchier members of it - and we hope you'll learn why.

Ages 10-18
