Our day at Amity Elementary School

On April 14th we took our friends to meet more friends at Amity Elementary School where my sister-in-law just so happens to be one of the best kindergarten teachers they have ever had. One of the reasons that she is one of the best is because she had one of the best reptile presenters come to her class to teach her class about REPTILES. And as always the presentations were Hands On. As usual some of the animals like to get a little more hands on than others. Like Rosie, our Rose Hair Tarantula, who already has more hands than others.

Another one of our more touchy feely animals is Beast, an Argentine Tegu, who has his way with the ladies. She might be shy now but right before that picture Beast planted a big wet lizard kiss right on her cheek.

But of course no presentation is complete until one of our giant pythons makes an appearance. For this show Butterball, our Albino Burmese Python, decided to show the kids just how big a python can be.

Thank you again to the kids at Amity Elementary School, and we hope to see you guys next year.

Our Day at the "Kids Fair"

On February 28th, 2009 Reptile Adventures got a booth at the Kids Fair just to get our name out there that much more. And boy did it help, we were a big hit. Kids were there ALL DAY LONG and the animals were great. But not only did we have a booth we were asked to do presentations on stage. Which was a little out of my element because I am used to being right in front of the audience, not on a stage. But I was told that they were a big hit as well. So all in all if you missed the Kids Fair you missed.......A Star Being Born. But it wasnt me, it was Sugar.

and of course Butterbean wasnt going to be upstaged...

So if you missed us at the Kids Fair, and I know you are beating your yourself up about it, be sure to schedule us for your next birthday party or get together. Again you can contact us via email at reptile_adventures@yahoo.com or call us at 939-6284. Can't wait to hear from you.

Our rescues of December and January have a theme going.

"BUTTERBEAN"

Butterbean is a 12 foot long Albino Burmese python and I bet you cant guess why her owners gave her up. Ill give you a clue......she is 12 feet long. She is a big softy and will be another snake that we take to parties and schools. So if you would like to meet Butterbean in person just give us a call @ 939-6284

"EVE"

Eve is a 7 foot long Het. for Albino Burmese python. She was surrendered to us by her owner because..........she also was getting too big for her owners. But she will be a great addition to our party animals as well.

We do birthday parties too....

These are just a couple of pictures to give you an idea of what we do at the parties. Like I said they are COMPLETELY HANDS ON!!!!!!

Our rescues so far...

GANDHI

He got that name because if you notice you can see ALL of his ribs, but you re not supposed to. And no matter what we did he wouldn't gain any weight. Yes, I said DID. Because sadly he passed away 2 months ago.

But on a brighter note...

There is Frankie



Frankie is a Sulcatta Tortoise. And he came to us because his previous owners didn't know how to properly care for him. They kept him in a cardboard box and that is it. No heat, no lights, and they fed him the wrong kind of lettuce. And you cant see in the picture but his shell is caved in right where the plant covers him.

And last but not least...

Caution

That's right I said Caution. He got his name as a reminder to his temperament. In case you don't get it.....HE IS NOT VERY NICE. But we are still working with him and love him just as much.

I know she's not a reptile but....

Daisy is our Reptile Adventures mascot. Daisy came to us while we lived in Southern California. She actually followed my little brother home and fell asleep on our lawn and wouldn't leave. So I kept her. And she has been the best dog ever. Every rescue we get Daisy checks them out, and gives them a kiss. And if someone is trying to get out of their enclosures she lets me know.

What we have now.....

Since moving here to Idaho a lot has changed with us including a computer. So I am gonna to give you a brief story and catch everyone up on our more interesting rescues that are already in our care.
