Is it cold blooded? Does it have scales?

If so, it might have been in the gymnasium at Mother of Sorrows School on Friday as students learned all about “Radical Reptiles” at a program presented by the Pittsburgh Zoo’s Zoomobile.

Zoo conservation education specialist Katie Campbell, along with Connor Bamrick and Shannon Phy, brought a few members of this particular branch of the herpetological family tree to the Murrysville school as part of National Catholic Schools Week.
