hey guys, me and my friend nick ( cornynick27 ) are thinking about setting up a part time children's party service, letting children get 1 to 1 with animals they wouldn't normally see.
sooo.. what animals/reptiles/insects would you like to see if you were to book a party for your child?
alternatively
what reptiles / insects do you think children would like to see or what unusual animals do you think would work well?
thanks in advance

When I was little I met a very large snake who was so dopey! Volunteers from our school (we were 5-8 years old) stood up and had the snake handed to us in a line, it was probably a common boa because their name stuck with me through the years. We learnt that snakes weren't slimey at all and were lovely things that were really heavy and strong.
This snake was really not bothered at all by anyone and calmly explored it's owner's body while he spoke to us about the snake and then happily entertained 10 or more kids. I wouldn't recommend doing that, but this guy clearly knew his snake didn't have a taste for 6 year olds. |

i dont really have the room to house a tegu unfortunately, did think of a praying mantis however :) |

seriously a red tegu i love these!
also preying mantis are pretty cool for insects!
rosy boas, corns, royals, african house snakes, garters, these are normaly docile species perfect for young uns! |

thanks everyone, this is brilliant! scaly, i have half of that.. a parrot that screams and hates me.. dont think it would work! ;) i've thought a lot about this and i know that the kids would be able to handle some of the animals and not others, i remember when i was knee high i had a party like this and the woman got us to lie down and a boa would crawl over our stomachs, was very fun! but there would have to be a lot of thought put into everything |

I wouldn't risk a hognose with other people's children just in case! My son has held a couple of different huge stick insects at a couple of venues. |

when we do road shows at college, we usually take the hissers, milli's and the beardie all of which go down well, we have also taken the corn and the sticks and landsnails in the past too. its quite fun to see the differnt reactions you get to them all too!! |

Just be careful to get friendly animals, you wouldn't want a parent pooping their pants ect over a corn biting their child... small animals which children can hold would be good but the bigger ones you would probably have to tell them stuff from a bit of a distance lol
If you go the bird route go for small birds, ring necks are nice, talkative but they can be a bit bitey or bigger birds that moves are easy to predict - do not get a ****atoo :P
Big spiders, snails and other bugs would be pretty darn cool though. As would plated lizards, skinks and dragons, maybe leos
I would love to see a toucan :p

Some hardy lizards, beardies, skinks, and a sulcat tortoise that can walk around freely :) |

Yeah, kids love giant snails :) A tarantual for them to observe through the tank after all the kids are the future and a world with a few less people terrified of spiders would not be a bad thing lol. Unlike myself, I see a spider and I stand on the chair and shout for help. Stick Insects are usually quite popular as well. |
