Reptiles Education, Presentations, and Outreach
Fear comes from that which is misunderstood or unknown. Education and understanding can overcome both.
Education and overcoming fear
Meet Scream the Ball Python
Are you unfamiliar with reptiles? Scared of Snakes? Want to learn more about them or understand them better? My service is aimed at this, for both Adults and Children. Often exposure to something you fear in appropriate settings is key to overcoming that if you want to! Here in Arizona, it is important to educate kids and adults alike on our natural animals like Rattlesnakes, but they are but the tip of a wide array of creatures, many which are harmless! I hope my animals can help with these things, and more, whether you are 60, 5 years old or any age really!
Meet Rusty the Red Tail Boa
Often with understanding, fear falls away. While it is important to show respect and distance from something like a rattlesnake. It is also important to understand why they are needed in our environment here, and that simply killing these and other creatures like them out of fear is also incorrect. Part of my program is to help alleviate and create understanding on our most misunderstood creatures.
Meet King Tut, the King Snake
The other part of my program is for you to actually be able to interact with some of these animals. Both native and not to the Arizona. Often being able to interact directly helps to also understand how harmless these creatures often are. My animals are great ambassadors to help you and others either overcome fears, or simply want to educate yourself more with simple up close interaction with a few of the non-venomous species.
