We are very excited to be adding new presentation speakers to the lineup along with Jeff Mohr’s Reptilian Encounters. We are proud to announce
Ken Panse and his Exotic Reptile Adventures.
Ken has been handling exotic animals for over 20 years. As the founder of Exotic Reptile Adventures, Ken feels it’s important to combine the excitement of presenting living reptiles and giant bugs along with a “hands on” educational experience. His interactive show gives attendees an opportunity to ask questions and even touch some of the animals in his collection.
During the 1990’s, Ken and his wife Stef owned Panse’s Pet Planet in Douglasville, GA. A need to provide a conservation theme show arose as many of the local teachers requested Ken to come visit their classrooms and schools. Realizing the importance for kids, and all people to understand their natural, native surroundings. Ken developed his show utilizing QCC (Quality Core Curriculum) objectives and outcomes. Then he added a variety of reptile ambassadors to his menagerie to draw from the world’s unique habitats, geography and ecosystems.
Ken has recently launched a new show featuring indigenous reptiles of the Southeast called Reptile Wrangler in which he displays a 4-foot alligator and large snapping turtle amongst other native snakes, lizards and amphibians.
Ken has appeared in many newspaper articles, Southeastern reptile exhibitions, and local TV and is currently publishing his first book based on his reptile experiences. Ken also volunteers his time to community groups such as the Boy Scouts of America, Georgia Aquarium, Thrivent Financial, Habitat for Humanity, Emory University, Remember the Rainbows, and Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta. His son Zack is a Volunteer with Zoo Atlanta.

Will this show be anything like the Repticon show last month in Fort Myers FL? I hope not. I've been to lots of shows and that FL Repticon show was by far the absolute worst. Sad turn out of vendors. I think there were more rodents and rabbits than snakes, at least it seemed that way. It did appear that the education for the younger crowd was worth a few bucks, but 7 or 8 dollars to see a VERY limited selection of animals for sale was annoying to say the least. So my point is.......will the Atlanta show be similar? It all depends on the vendors that decide to participate I guess.

"It all depends on the vendors that decide to participate I guess."
You said it with this statement. I personally send out 100's of vendor invites to EVERY show that we have in GA, SC and NC. We do have 21 comfirmed vendors to date.
With that said I would like to state that there are two Repticon Teams.
1) The Repticon team that does the Southeastern Shows (Danny and myself are part of this team).
2) The Repticon Team that does the Repticon shows in FL and Up North.
I can not explain why some of the FL Repticon shows are small because I/we are not part of that team.
Hope this helps,
Cathy
