Meet venomous snakes, crocodiles and skunks at an exotic animal handling day in Lincoln.
Lincoln Reptile and Pet Centre on Newark Road is inviting people to come face to face with some unusual animals at a free event.
Between 10am and 6pm on Saturday, September 29 there will be lots of furry and funky animals to hold.
It is hiring Animals UK to bring some of the exotic creatures that it doesn’t have in the shop too, like venomous snakes.
Alyss Rogers told The Lincolnite: “People can get the chance to see some of these animals at a zoo but they cannot get so close or touch them like you can here.”
As part of the event, there will be a raffle to win a reptile house and ice cream trays being sold outside by Lincolnshire-based company Party Delights.
Foxes, giant tortoises, an owl, chameleons, tarantulas and lots more will be at the shop this weekend.
Watch the full video to see what kind of animals Lincoln reptile and pet centre will have at the event.

Proposals to close the Springcliffe Surgery in Lincoln’s St Catherines area have emerged, citing several compelling reasons including declining patient numbers, old infrastructure, and escalating operational costs.
Springcliffe Surgery, a branch of the larger Brant Road Surgery, currently serves a fraction of the combined 9,000 patients – providing only 20 weekly appointments compared to the main site’s 550.
