Reptile Handling Experiences
Looking for reptile parties instead?
Kids aged 5+ only
We can only host reptile handling sessions for children aged 5+
Where is the session held?
Our reptile handling experiences are held at our Bracknell venue. See our locations page for details.
We offer public handling sessions and private sessions
Public sessions are open to anyone who books a ticket
Private handling sessions are just for the person who books it and their stated participant(s)
How public handling sessions differ from private parties
Public handling sessions will likely include other participants you don’t know
You cannot bring your own food and snacks to handling sessions, as you cannot eat and drink while the animals are out due to the risk of salmonella
Private parties enable you to book the room afterwards for food and drink, once the animals have left and the room is prepared for eating and drinking
What happens at the handling experience?
We bring out small reptiles first, like millipedes, then work up to some of our larger reptiles, like our big snakes
We provide fun facts about the reptiles during the handling experience
Which reptiles can be brought out?
Millipedes and stick insects
Crested Geckos and Leopard Geckos
Bearded Dragons
Tortoises and turtles
Tegus
Boa constrictors
Pythons
Some of the species may not be available at the time due to them being live animals and having their own needs e.g. if a snake is shedding.
What about food and drink?
We can provide complimentary jugs of juice and water
You cannot bring your own food and snacks to a public handling session
If you would like to bring your own food and snacks, such as a birthday cake, please book one of our Reptile Parties and select to have the room afterwards for food and drink
