Kids love snakes!
I offer live, hands-on snake programs for kids of all ages, presenting the friendliest, most docile and beautiful snakes on the west coast! My programs are educational, hands on, delightful, and fascinating. I am invited to many schools, events, summer camps, and birthday parties but can adapt to almost any venue.
Kids love my snakes, and so do many adults once they get to see and interact with them up close. I recently presented at a travel writer's conference held at a popular bookstore and delighted the audience. My biggest challenge was getting my animals back in their carriers before the next scheduled event!
Question and answer
Q. What advice do you have for a customer looking to hire a provider like you?
A. Glean as much information as you can from checking their website and other promotional material and read their testimonials. Ask for references and talk to a few parties that have enlisted their services previously.
Q. If you were a customer, what do you wish you knew about your trade? Any inside secrets to share?
A. The inside secret about snakes is they can be very friendly, docile animals if the right species are chosen and they are handled on a regular basis. Snakes can be as tame, handleable, and predictable as your average family cat or dog!
Q. What questions should a consumer ask to hire the right service professional?
A. How often do your snakes get handled and how do you choose the species that you work with. What do you offer that is different and unique in your presentations. (My snakes are all North American...no boring boas or petulant pythons!)
Q. What important information should buyers have thought through before seeking you out?
A. Where and when the party is being held. When having live animal presentations at your event or party, things like temperature, security for both animals and people present must be thought out well in advance. Shade needs to be provided if temps are high and indoor presentation areas may be necessary for reptile shows during the colder months of the year.
