At DJL Exotics, we provide engaging, educational, and fun animal experiences tailored for schools, colleges and clubs. Perfect for introducing children and young people to the wonders of exotic animals, our sessions are designed to inspire curiosity, respect, and kindness towards wildlife. They are suitable for any year group from early years through to college students.
What’s Included in a Session? Each one-hour session brings an exciting selection of exotic animals. Depending on availability, participants may meet:
A Leopard Gecko – Hank or Lana
A Berber Skink or Crested Gecko – Arabella or Orwell
A Colubrid Snake – one of our corn snakes, Gumball or Shelby
A Python Snake – Beth or Sir William
A Minibeast – Millipede or Vinegaroon

Our knowledgeable handlers will introduce each animal, sharing fascinating facts about their lives in the wild and as pets. Children and adults alike will have the chance to get up close to these incredible creatures in a safe and controlled environment. There are plenty of handling experiences available for all.
