Snakes, lizards and the Reptile Expo! A slithery edition of 7 Questions with Emmy.
Published at | Updated atEvery week I’m interviewing exciting people from Idaho and around the world!
Today I’m chatting with Annabelle Elsass, the founder of the Beast Pets Marketplace Reptile Expo in Idaho Falls. This is the third year the expo is happening and it will be held Saturday and Sunday, May 31 and June 1, inside the Melaleuca Event Center at the Bonneville County Fairgrounds.
Annabelle brought in several of her critters during our interview and here’s what I asked her:
- When did you become interested in reptiles and animals?
- What gave you the idea to start an expo to show off your animals?
- What is an interesting fact you can share with us about snakes?
- Do you have a favorite animal?
- You’ve brought a few different creatures with you. Tell me about this one.
- Let’s see another one. Tell me how you came up with their names.
- Tell us about the expo – where is it and what can people expect?
