What We Do

Reptile Parties are structured to appeal to different age groups and size. Kids meet up close cold-blooded animals such as friendly bearded dragons, amazing frilled dragons, colorful geckos, incredible pythons and snakes, and even tarantulas and scorpions! They may even come face-to-face with Buffy, the 7-foot plus Columbian boa constrictor! Reptiles are scheduled based on availability and interest. Parties for children 7 and under focus more on basic reptile information while events for older children combine the unique opportunity to see reptiles up close with education, including proper care and husbandry as well as information about conservation.
