1.
What do you bring to a party?
The
Reptileman shows in San Antonio, Texas and surrounding areas.
We bring between
8 and 15 really cool pets from around the world with us, usually
to include snakes, lizards and turtles. Kids of ALL ages get
an intriguing hands on experience they and their friends will
never forget. Our exciting presentation is approximately one
hour long and covers habitat, nutrition, reproduction and
characteristics that make each animal very unique. We share
do’s and don’ts for buying pets and there is always
a question and answer time for the children, they love this
part.
2.
How much will it cost?
The
cost varies based on each individual event. Birthday party
fees start at $125.
3.
Can you come to my school?
Yes.
The Reptile Man has been cleared through NISD, NEISD and SAISD
as a presenter in those districts. We have also been to private
schools as well.
4.
How far in advance do I need to book my party?
We suggest that you book your party at least 4-6 weeks in
advance, as our calendar fills up quickly. However, if you
have waited until the last minute to plan your special event
(or you found us at the last minute!), give us a call anyway!
We just might have an opening for your birthday surprise or
event!!
5.
What do I need to provide?
We
will need a small table, preferably about 6’ long, an
eager audience, and payment, of course. Also, please make
sure to leave a close parking space for The Reptile Man on
the date of the party - he is carrying numerous pounds of
critters! And, if you live in a gated community, please let
us know in advance and give us the code or other instructions
for getting in. Thanks for your help in this matter!
6.
What methods of payment do you accept?
We
take cash, personal checks and will accept payment through
paypal online on our website! Thereptileman.net
7.
Do you bring anything poisonous?
Actually,
the term would be venomous, but no, nothing we have is venomous.
(Poison is something you ingest, venom is something you get
bitten or stung to have coursing through your body!)
8.
How long is the presentation?
About an hour presentation and we focus on having an absolute
blast, with 45 minutes of presentation and the rest for pictures
and questions. The Reptile Man and his friends will make the
day super special for the birthday person, and allow them
to hold and experience almost every reptile. Make sure you
have plenty of film/disk space for your camera or phone! There
will be lots of great photo opportunities!
Scheduling
Suggestion: Schedule the Reptile Show 30 minutes
after your party begins to give the guests plenty of time
to arrive & get acquainted. Food should be served either
before or after the reptile experience, in order to ensure
cleanliness. We ask that kids are not eating or drinking during
the program.
9.
Where is the best environment to have the event?
We can do the presentation indoors or outdoors, however if
you want to have your party outdoors, the temperatures must
be comfortable to humans (not too hot or too cold), as reptiles
are cold-blooded and become the temperatures of their surroundings.
Ideal temperatures are between 68-88 degrees.
