Meet a variety of lizards, snakes, and invertebrates with our mobile animal encounters. Engage with our animal ambassadors, learn how to care for them and discover their unique personalities. Have a memorable time learning what makes reptiles and invertebrates so special. Our animals are trained and used to being handled, so everyone in your group can have a chance to meet them. The animal encounter is ideal for clubs and schools and we can bring the animals to your group for a full hour.
We can tailor every animal encounter to your specific needs. We can cover the following topics:
- How to look after animals and care for them.
- Why reptiles and invertebrates are special
- What they need to thrive.
- Where they live in the wild.
- Adaptations for their habitats.
- Life cycles, and more.
