Celebrating National Lizard Day in style

Did you know that it was National Lizard Day in August?

Our Tonbridge House Care Home residents got into the mood to celebrate all things lizard with a visit from the wonderful Naomi from Animalia Encounters, who brought along lots of friendly reptiles, amongst other animals, for our residents to say hello to. Naomi’s passion and knowledge shone through as she explained fascinating facts about each creature, from their habitats and diets to their personalities and quirky behaviours. Our residents were enthralled by the chance to see the animals up close.

The stars of the day included a bearded dragon, tortoises, a charming tree frog, and even a corn snake, each one sparking curiosity and conversation as Naomi introduced them. Alongside the reptiles, residents also enjoyed meeting some more unusual animals, including skinny pigs, guinea pigs, and a fluffy lionhead rabbit.

The afternoon was filled with smiles, laughter, and lots of questions for Naomi, making it a truly memorable experience. A big thank you to Animalia Encounters for helping us celebrate National Lizard Day in such a unique and interactive way.
