Life on a grand scale
Living collections exhibit features home-grown reptiles

There’s a whole lot of living going on in the A Wing of the Life Sciences Center on the Tempe campus. Residents of the Living Collections exhibit crawl, writhe and wiggle their way through the day, with researchers and visitors viewing their everyday activities. The exhibit features snakes and lizards indigenous to Arizona, including an entire wing devoted to the 18 sub-species of rattlesnakes found in Arizona. The building also features a preserved natural habitat for birds, rodents, and ducks.

The collection is open for public viewing Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. The Life Sciences Center is located at Tyler Mall and Palm Walk. For more information on the collection, call (480) 965-3396.
