General Meeting Third Thursday of the month 7:30pm Meeting Location: Eaton Canyon Nature Center 1750 North Altadena Drive Pasadena, CA 91107

Vincent Fricano will be speaking on the husbandry and breeding of monitor lizards. His talk will focus on the keeping and breeding of crocodile monitors. At the early age of 6 years, Vince acquired a savannah monitor which launched his career of raising monitors. On a nature show by Marc O'Shea, Vince first learned about crocodile monitors and began his fascination and passion for them. He worked as a monitor breeder for Prehistoric Pets in Fountain Valley under the tutelage of Jay Brewer and Tim O'Reilly. He now keeps reptiles for fun and as a hobby. Come and meet the tamest crocodile monitor you will probably ever encounter! Robert Hess will be planning and leading herping outings in the SGV area.
