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

Corns for sure if they're not from 'reptile' people, if you get me. Mostly because they're maybe more-so reliable in regards to good temperament than other snakes may be, so that's a safety p.o.v lol
But yeah, bugwise, Hissing Roaches like Mamma says, they always go down great with kids :D |

| 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. |

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

| 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. |

| 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 |
