Shells, Scutes & Scales - Husbandry Care of Native Reptile Species at Frost Science

An engaging presentation on the fascinating world of native reptile species with Helen Bradley, Senior Terrestrial Biologist at the Frost Science Museum. With a rich background that includes years of experience at ZSL London Zoo and Pelican Harbor Seabird Station, Helen brings a wealth of knowledge, expertise, and passion for reptiles and birds alike.

Her talk, “Shells, Scutes & Scales: Husbandry Care of Native Reptile Species at Frost Science,” dives into some of the lesser-known facts about reptiles, from their unique sensory abilities to their impressive strength and movement. Helen will also share insights on reptile care and habitats, and she’ll bring along some snake skins for an even more hands-on experience.

About the Speaker

Helen Bradley
Born and raised in the UK, I spent 12 years with a publishing company in various roles before deciding that a desk job was not what I wanted, so I began volunteering at ZSL London Zoo where I spent 5 years as a Qualified Bird Keeper before my husband's job moved us to Miami in 2015. Two months after arriving here I joined the Pelican Harbor team as a volunteer, a position I held for 6.5 years before joining the Frost Science team in 2022 as their Herpetologist. Two years later and I am now the Senior Terrestrial Biologist - still caring for the reptiles but also overseeing the birds.
