Based in North Wales, we provide reptile parties across Chester, Cheshire, Liverpool, Manchester and beyond.
How it works
FOR ALL AGES
Our parties are suitable for all ages - including adults and children.
VENUE OR AT HOME
We’ll meet you where you are - whether that’s a venue or at home.
FLEXIBLE DELIVERY
We’ll provide the best experience for your specific group of guests.
REMARKABLE ANIMALS
Consent-led interaction with our remarkable animals.
We’ll bring the snakes - you bring the cake.
It’s simple.
We’ll bring a carefully curated selection of animals to your venue, and your guests will have the chance to get up close with species most people never see- let alone hold.
Our reptile party experiences aren’t just for children. Scaly Safari parties are also a unique option for adult birthdays, celebrations, and events.
Depending on the group size and ages, we usually bring a mix of snakes, lizards, invertebrates - and often a tenrec (a baby hedgehog-lookalike from Madagascar).
Whether you’re booking a venue or hosting a party at home (pyjama parties are a favourite), we adapt the experience to suit your space.
Every session is shaped around the group, ensuring everyone has time to interact at their own pace.
Suitable for all ages, with reptile parties available across North Wales, Chester, Cheshire, Liverpool, Manchester and throughout England and Wales.
