BIRTHDAY PARTY
WHAT DO ROAMING REPTILES DO AT A PARTY?
- We turn up 15 minutes before the presentations starts, to set up.
- We need a space about 4-5 metres indoors.
- We bring picnic rugs for guests to sit on.
- We set up 4 walls of Perspex. see picture (Just in case anyone feels a bit apprehensive about the animals.)
- The birthday child receives a gift. No, it's not a snake! (Unless requested)
- Each party guest receives a colouring picture.
- At birthday parties the star is the birthday child - they assist directly with the presentation.
- They carry some of the animals around for their friends to touch.
- "Snake safety" is included in the presentation.
- In the warmer months we feed the lizards live bugs.
- We don't lecture to the children but find out the knowledge they have and add to that.
- Teachers with excellent crowd control skills design our programs and we use a lot of humour throughout the presentation.

PRE-SCHOOLER PARTY
The birthday child is the star of the display. They help the presenter introduce each animal and show the other children how to safely touch the live Australian reptiles. We ask that 3 adults are available to supervise the other children when it's their turn to touch. We want children to experience close up, these beautiful animals. We do not use venomous snakes.
We bring:- Baby snakes
- Large snake
- Turtles
- Frogs
- Various lizards
- Baby lizards
- Crocodile
- All animals can be touched except the baby lizards and frogs
We have a lizard pit set up for children and keen adults to lean over and touch the lizards.
Some animals are in plastic containers we get them out to be seen up REALLY close and touched.
We have full public liability insurance.
We need to be inside (5x5m) in a quiet place, away from balloons or music.
Length of display: 45min
Cost: ring us and find out. Recommended number of children 15. (extra costs for over 15 children)
WHAT DO WE NEED FOR A PRESENTATION?
- A keen group of children through to adults (we recommend between 10-15 children)
- For children younger than 5 years we ask for an adult to supervise each one. (So children aren't eaten by our animals!)
- We don't need chairs.
- A sink or bucket of warm soapy water for everyone to wash his or her hands after the presentation.
