They say that imitation is the greatest form of flattery, well the Ball Python being held Stephanie Hunt must have been filled with pride when a reluctant Carleigh Hunt attempted to flick her tongue also.
The mother and daughter were part of a steady stream of visitors to the Western Canadian Reptile Expo 1st annual Show & Sale held at the Parkland Pavilion on the Westerner Grounds this weekend.
There are over 40 vendors from across Canada displaying bearded dragons, boa constrictors, turtles, iguanas and more who are willing to let people handle some of their reptiles and answer questions.
The expo continues on Sunday from 10 am to 5 pm.
