Scott Peterson, The Reptile Man, made his first appearance of the year Tuesday at the Kids Club at Allan Yorke Park before a crowd of several hundred squirming kids and their parents.

With alligators, skinks and multitude of various snakes, Peterson kept the crowd enthralled, teaching all about his various scaly friends, their diets and their dangers.
