According to snake breeder Josh Joiner:

“I have been coming to this event for over 10 years. They people here are really passionate about what they do, and they really do care about the reptiles they work with. I think it’s important to learn about the animals that live around us. When you learn a little bit about these critters, they don’t seem so creepy and crawly.”
