Repterience Shines at the Scaled-Up Expo with Blink, Our 8-Foot Blind Reticulated Python
At Foun Du Lac Scaled-Up Expo, the crowd was abuzz with excitement, and one particular star stole the spotlight—the majestic Blink, our 8-foot-long blind reticulated python.

The Scaled-Up Expo: A Reptile Lover’s Paradise
The Scaled-Up Expo is a large gathering of reptile enthusiasts, conservationists, and educators, making it the perfect platform for Repterience to share our passion for reptiles. This event attracts people from all walks of life, from seasoned herpetologists to those just beginning to explore the world of scales and slithers.
Blink: A Remarkable Ambassador
Our star of the show, Blink, is an 8-foot-long reticulated python who has a unique story to tell. Born blind, Blink’s journey is a testament to the resilience and adaptability of these incredible creatures. She has become a remarkable ambassador for her species, challenging misconceptions and capturing hearts with her gentle disposition.
The Impact of Blink’s Presence
Blink’s presence at the Scaled-Up Expo had a profound impact on attendees. Many visitors had never been in such close proximity to a snake of her size, let alone one that was blind. Blink’s story serves as a powerful reminder of the importance of understanding and appreciating reptiles and the critical role they play in our ecosystem.
Educational Interactions
At Repterience, our primary focus is education. The Scaled-Up Expo was an opportunity for us to share the fascinating world of reptiles through hands-on, educational interactions. Visitors had the chance to touch, feel, and even hold smaller reptiles, promoting a sense of wonder and appreciation for these often-misunderstood creatures.
Fostering Respect and Conservation
One of our core missions is to foster respect for reptiles and encourage their conservation. The presence of Blink and our dedicated team at the Scaled-Up Expo allowed us to engage with like-minded individuals and discuss the importance of preserving reptile species and their habitats.
Inspiring Future Herpetologists
As we interacted with students, aspiring herpetologists, and wildlife enthusiasts, it was clear that Blink’s story inspired many to consider a future in reptile conservation and education. We shared stories of herpetologists’ work and the countless opportunities for making a difference in the world of reptiles.
