NJ Snake Man was perfect for my 5 year olds birthday! Our presenter was Noah, and he was amazing. He was very kind, attentive, and patient. He fielded 15 5-yr-olds crazy, repetitive, and outlandish questions like a pro. Every childs question was answered, and each child was given equal attention and opportunity. It was really fantastic.

Nj Snakeman was the coolest add on for our daughter’s Dino-themed birthday party. Booking was SEAMLESS especially because we decided to go with live animals 2 days before the party. We were honored to have Jon as our reptile expert. Very personable and understanding instructor, he was patient and kept guests of ALL ages engaged. We 100% recommend this to ANYONE who wants to have a fun learning experience, this was an absolute hit! They’ll be talking about my daughter’s party all the way until next year thanks to NJ Snakeman. MAKE SURE YOU ASK FOR JON!

Our reptile guy was great at not just wrangling the animals, but the attention of 20 rambunctious 3-7 year olds! Would recommend.

FAQs
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
We offer 15% off for multiple programs or multiple hours at the same location.
We sometimes charge a small travel fee, but the company does not profit from it, it all goes directly to the presenter to help offset some of their expenses.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
First we discuss the needs of the customer's event and work together to accommodate any unique requirements or requests.
Then we get the event into our booking system, from which the customer receives automatic confirmation emails and texts.
Approximately 72 hours prior to the event, customer will receive a confirmation email and text as well as a call and/or text message from their presenter to go over any details.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
As a team we have well over 50 years experience working with animals. Many of us have studied biology and various disciplines of ecobiology but the in depth knowledge of these unique creatures has been a lifelong process of discovery by seeking mentors and sources of information on our own.
