Animal Event

Location: Beekse Bergen, Hilvarenbeek

In the first weekend of May, an annual Animal Event is held on the grounds of De Beekse Bergen in Hilvarenbeek, from Friday to Sunday. It is best described as a big animal festival and the event for the animal lover.

We as the Herpetofauna Foundation are there every year to introduce animal lovers to reptiles and amphibians. At our stand we show a number of terrariums containing well-known reptiles that are kept as pets such as the leopard gecko, the tortoise and the rat snake. Visitors to the stand are also allowed to hold a reptile such as a ball python or bearded dragon and have their picture taken with it. We use these animals as ambassadors for their endangered species in nature. They support our story of why it is so important to protect reptiles, amphibians and their habitats and illustrate the projects we support.
