What to expect from
your experience day
During our Encounter sessions, you will get the chance to meet our ambassador animals, pet them, hold them and even have a photo with them so you can share the memory with everyone not in attendance. We will happily share all our knowledge with you about all these whacky and very much misunderstood creatures, who can surprisingly be soft, gentle and even cuddly!
We create each package specifically for you, whether you want just a small number of animals or every ambassador in our collection, you can rest assured, we will cater to your preferences. From Bearded Dragons to Geckos, Boa Constrictors to Pythons, Tarantulas to Tortoises, you can personalise to your preference or simply leave it a surprise!

Reptile Handling: Best Practices
Handling reptiles requires understanding and respect for these unique creatures. Here are some essential guidelines to ensure both safety and comfort for you and the reptile:
1. Create a Safe Environment
Ensure that the surrounding area is safe and secure. Remove any objects that might hurt the reptile or inhibit its natural movement. Remove all pets from the area.
2. Approach Calmly
Always approach our reptiles slowly and calmly to avoid startling it. Sudden movements can provoke stress or defensive behaviour.
3. Support the Body
When holding a reptile, support its entire body. Use both hands to provide a secure hold, preventing it from feeling unsupported and anxious.
4. Avoid Grasping
Do not grasp a reptile tightly, as this can cause stress and injury. Allow it to feel secure in your hands, maintaining a gentle grip.
5. Wash Hands Before and After
Always wash your hands before and after handling a reptile or use the sanitiser gel provided by our team. This is to prevent the spread of bacteria and to maintain hygiene for both you and the animal.
6. Follow Instructions.
Make sure to comply with any instructions given by our team. Any parents/guardians of children attending are expected to ensure all children in their care listen to these instructions. This is to ensure the safety and welfare of our animals.
By following these practices, you can ensure safe and respectful interactions with reptiles, fostering a positive experience for both you and these fascinating creatures.
Warnings will be given if these guidelines are ignored and may result in the removal of any person(s) who are not complying. We have the right to remove ourselves and our animals if these are continuously being ignored or if we feel that the safety of the animals or ourselves is compromised.
