Olivia: WELCOME BACK TO EAST
TEXAS LIVE.
WE ARE JOINED BY KEVIN AND DORI
FROM.
[NAME] GARDENS.
THANK YOU FOR JOINING US GUYS.
Guest: THANK YOU FOR HAVING
US.
Olivia: I KNOW YOU HAVE A
FUN FRONTIER AND WE WILL GET TO
THEM IN A SECOND BECAUSE I KNOW
YOU WANT TO TALK ABOUT THE
EVENT YOU HAVE COMING UP.
ABSOLUTELY, IT IS
SUMMERTIME.
IT'S A PERFECT PLACE TO BE
WINTER GARDENS PERFECT
DESTINATION.
OF COURSE, WE HAVE OUR RAIN
FOREST AND WE HAVE AN AQUARIUM
AS WELL.
THE AQUARIUM IS CELEBRATING 20
YEARS THIS SUMMER.
WE ARE VERY EXCITED, OF COURSE
WE HAVE OUR OWN PROPERTY PALM
BEACH.
PURE WHITE SAND FROM PALM BEACH
FLORIDA.DIG YOUR TOES IN THE
SAND, HAVE A DRINK AND BRING
THE KIDS.
WE HAVE A SPLASH PAD, WATER
SLIDES, THE WHOLE NINE YARDS
AND IT'S A GREAT TIME.
GREAT ACTIVITIES FOR FAMILIES,
A HOTEL ON THE PROPERTY,
ONE-STOP SHOP.>> YOU HAVE IT
ALL IT SOUNDS LIKE AND YOU HAVE
THE SHARK SHIRT TO GO WITH IT.
YES.
GREAT, DORI DO YOU WANT TO
INTRODUCE US TO SOME OF THE
CREW HERE.
THIS IS SPIRA A GREEN
IGUANA.
WE HAVE SIGOURNEY WEAVER WHO IS
OUR CHILEAN TARANTULA.
Olivia: WE WERE JUST SAYING
IS ACTUALLY TELLING DORI DURING
THE BREAK THIS IS KIND OF
THROWING ME BACK TO MY
CHILDHOOD BECAUSE I HAD A
PENTAGON IN WHICH IS THE MOST
RANDOM PET I FEEL LIKE THAT I
WAS TELLING YOU, HE LIVED TO BE
A TEENAGER AND YOU WERE SAYING
THAT'S KIND OF A MISCONCEPTION
PEOPLE HAVE BEEN.
A LOT OF TIMES PEOPLE THINK
WILL GET AN IGUANA OR A SNAKE
BECAUSE IT'S A COUPLE OF YEARS.
IGUANAS IN CAPTIVITY CAN LIVE
INTO THEIR 20S. IN FACT, THEY
SHOULD LIVE INTO THEIR 20S.
SAME THING WITH THE BALL
PYTHONS THEY CAN LIVE INTO
THEIR 20s IN CAPTIVITY.
I REMEMBER ALWAYS WE WOULD
FEED LETTUCE, GRAPES.
PRIMARILY THEY ARE HARD FOR
SPRING.
THAT IS ANOTHER THIS CONCEPT
PEOPLE HAVE THEY THINK THAT
IT'S A LIVING THING.
[MULTIPLE SPEAKERS]
AND THEY WILL FEED IT MEAT.
THEY ARE STRICTLY HERBIVORES
PREVIOUSLY WHICH IS GREAT TOO
BECAUSE I DIDN'T WANT TO FEED
THEM ICE OR SOMETHING.
RIGHT.
ANYTHING YOU WANT TO TELL US
ABOUT THE BIG HAIR.
THAT WHEN I'M NOT FAMILIAR
WITH.
SHE LOOKS A LITTLE SCARY,
BUT SHE'S ACTUALLY NOT.
CHILEAN ROTATOR TARANTULAS ARE
VERY VERY DOCILE, YOU FIND THEM
A LOT ON SIDE OF THE STREET AND
THEY ARE ALSO USED FOR ANIMAL
AMBASSADORS BECAUSE THEY ARE SO
DOCILE.
THEY FIT IN YOUR HAND AND THEY
MAKE GREAT ANIMAL AMBASSADORS.
THEY CAN LIVE TO BE 25 YEARS
OLD IN CAPTIVITY.
AGAIN, ANOTHER LONG LIVE ANIMAL
THAT WE HAVE.
A LOT OF TIMES PEOPLE DON'T
REALIZE.
SHE IS ACTUALLY VERY DELICATE,
SHE HAS A SKELETON SHELL.
IF SHE WERE TO FALL, SHE COULD
ACTUALLY CRACK HER ABDOMEN OPEN
AND SHE WOULD DIE.
THEY LOOK SCARY BUT THEY'RE
VERY DELICATE CREATURES.
I NOTICED HE OR SHE IS DOING
A LITTLE BIT OF SHUTTING TO.
LIKE SNAKES, MOST LIZARDS DO
NOT SHED IN ONE GO.
MOST THERE'S ALWAYS AN
EXCEPTION TO THE ROLE.
SHE SHEDS IN PATCHES, AS YOU
CAN SEE.>> Olivia: YOU TOLD
US YOU HAVE ANOTHER FRIEND YOU
DIDN'T BRING HIM ON CAMERA HERE
TODAY BUT WHO ELSE DID YOU
BRING WITH?
WE BROUGHT MONTY BALL
PYTHON.pUNFORTUNATELY I'M THE ONLY ONE
WHO CAN HANDLE THE ANIMALS ON
I'M THE ANIMAL HANDLER AND
BIOLOGISTS SO THAT MEANS I HAVE
ONE OR THE OTHER GOING.
TELL US A LITTLE BIT ABOUT
HIM.
SHE IS ALSO AN ANIMAL AND
PASSIVE ORDER AND A LOT OF TIME
PEOPLE THINGS IN THE RAIN
FOREST TO SEE THEM BUT BECAUSE
THEIR ANIMAL AMBASSADORS THERE
HOUSED IN THE LEARNING PLACE
WHERE THE EDUCATION HAPPENS.
BUT IF YOU WANTED TO MEET THEM,
LEARN MORE ABOUT THEM YOU CAN
SIGN UP FOR AN EDUCATION
PROGRAM IF YOU ARE A TEACHER OR
A YOUTH GROUP, CHURCH GROUP.
EVEN TAKERS CAN SIGN UP FOR AN
EDUCATION PROGRAM TO HOST
BIRTHDAY PARTIES, YOU CAN SIGN
UP AND MEET THREE OR FOUR
DIFFERENT TYPES OF BIRDS.
WE ALSO HAVE SLEEPOVERS AND
MERIT BADGE PROGRAMS.
A LOT OF WAYS TO MEET THESE
GUYS EVEN IF YOU GO TO THE RAIN
FOREST AND SEE THEM.
Olivia: WONDERFUL, ALL MY
GOSH SHE'S FALLING ASLEEP.
USUALLY WE HAVE A SEGMENT LIKE
THIS WITH DOGS SO IT'S A LITTLE
BIT DIFFERENT TO HAVE AN IGUANA
FALL ASLEEP ON THE TABLE.
SHE IS QUITE COMFORTABLE.
IS GOING TO SAY IT'S LIKE A
HEAT ROCK AND HE WOULD ALWAYS
CLIMB ON IT AND LOVE IT.
FOG, AND IF PEOPLE WANT MORE
INFORMATION OR THINKING ABOUT
CHECKING IT OUT, WHERE CAN THEY
GO?
