Birthday
Parties |
|
|
|
Are your kids tired of the same swim, laser-tag,
princes, and bouncing birthday parties year
after year? We have something unique and awesome
for your child! Reptile Addictions & Exotics
animal show, offers entertainment and education! |
|
|
|
Our exotic animal shows are completely
interactive. We share intriguing facts about the
animals while the children hold and pet animals
we bring (if they choose to). You may also have
us stay longer so that the children can enjoy
extra playtime with all their favorite new
friends. We love to share our snakes, lizards,
and other charming creatures. Our animal
presenters will come to your birthday party
location, and share why they are important for
our environment, and things like what to do when
you spot a snake in its natural habitat. We even
do “myth busters”! As age groups are different,
each show is adjusted (information) to fit the
appropriate age of your child. Does your older
child think they are too old for a birthday
party? Tweens and teens love the show - they
think it's really cool! |
|
|
|
Presenters help both the children and the
parents with their fears and apprehensions about
reptiles, and most of the time, people who
thought they would never touch a snake touch,
hold, get their picture taken, and enjoy
learning about these fascinating animals. |
|
|
|
Having a
Animal Birthday Party is an excellent
opportunity for children to handle a variety of
reptiles and animals, instead of merely looking
at them in books or at the pet store. If your
child has asked to have one of the animals we
have as a pet, seeing the animal up close may
help you make the right decision .We love
helping families make the right pet match! You
can also buy your pet and initial supplies
through us and we can even bring it to the
birthday party as an extra special present! |
|
|
|
We bring non-venomous, non-aggressive and safe
animals. We also provide waterless hand
sanitizer before and after contact with our
pets. The goal is to excite the children and
have fun, so they can laugh and understand that
reptiles are animals like most others. |

|
Before the Party |
|
|
|
Parking - A close parking space is
greatly appreciated, or at least a
close unloading spot. We bring many animal containers and crates. |
|
|
|
Shade/Heat - Please use the largest
empty room. Especially in the
summer, animals can overheat (and
kids do, too); we always need a
comfortable shady spot. We can also
locate indoors. If it's over 100
degrees then for any of our animals
will need to be kept in A/C and can
be taken outside just during their
part of the show. If access to A/C
is not available (ex. parks) then we
will need to be provided with 6 bags
of ice to put the animal carriers on
to keep them cool. |
|
|
|
Scheduling - If you're booking us for
a show, we highly recommend leaving
a little leeway between the start of
your party and the start of our
show. (15-30 minutes minimum is
advised.) If you're running behind
schedule, we normally cannot wait to
start the show due to multiple,
stacking events. So we will have to
leave at the original end time and
shorten the show. If we are able to
delay the start time, you will
receive the full time and we charge
$5 for every five minutes from the
original start time. |
|
|
|
Set Up - Our set up time takes about
10 minutes. It goes much faster if
the guests can wait to be surprised
by the animals until we're ready to
start. So, if your show is at 2pm,
we'd arrive around 1:45 p.m. to set
up. |
|
|
|
Large Groups (Parties)
- Rather than
charging extra, if you're expecting
quite a few young guests, we highly
recommend booking additional time as
it will take longer for all the
children to handle each animal.
Otherwise we can run out of time and
might not be able to bring out every
animal. The birthday child always
gets to hold everything if they'd
like to regardless of the size of
the group. With 25 children and
under our shows are completely
hands-on and everyone holds all the
animals if they choose to; with
25-45 children everyone just touches
the animals if they'd like; and with
groups over 30, we do an interactive
show that incorporates many hands-on
volunteers. |
|
|
|
Large Events - Great for “Open
House”: There is no show. Rather we
set up with the animals and everyone
can visit with the animals at their
leisure as we answer any questions
about the animals. Any additional
time booked after the party is all
Open House and everyone can play
with their favorites as long as they
like. |
|
|
|
Animal Safety - Our animals are
well-cared for, and are used to
being handled by children. However,
if one is having an "off day," (just
like people do), we will hold it
back. We don't force our animals to
perform. You need to provide
insurance yourself. We hold no
liability. Waivers will need to be
signed. |
|
|
|
Deposit - To book a show with us, a
deposit is required. The deposit is
non-refundable, but will still apply
if the reservation needs to be
rescheduled, postponed up to 1 week
prior to the date. Any package
changes (including cancelling extra
time) or postponing within 1 week of
the event will only have the deposit
credited to a future event if
changes were due to rain. All
deposit credits must be used within
90 days of the original event date. |
|
|
|
Cancellation - If a cancellation
notice is not given at least 24
hours before the event, no deposit
will be refunded. |
|
|
|
Payment (Private Events)
- Cash or
Check payment is due prior to the
party start. By using our services,
the client agrees to these terms. |
|
|
|
|
|
During the Party |
|
|
|
Birthday Child - We start the
presentation by having everyone sing
a warm, "Happy Birthday" to the
birthday child(ren). They will also
be the first to handle each animal
(if they choose) and also may help
us pass around the animals if they'd
like to join us as our "Junior
Trainer." |
|
|
|
Food - If you are having a show, we
recommend serving food before or
after it. Serving food during the
show will be a distraction. We
always remind the children to wash
their hands after handling the
animals. We do carry hand sanitizer,
but soap and water is still the
best. |
|
|
|
Pictures - Taking pictures is
encouraged -- as many as you like!
Please take pictures while each
animal is being featured. Due to
time constraints, we aren't able to
uncrate them again -- unless you've
booked extra play time. |
|
|
|
Chairs - You don't need to have
chairs for the guests, but we find
that younger children especially are
more engaged if they sit in a chair.
All children must be sitting down
when holding an animal. |
|
|
|
Air Jumps (Bouncers)
- If we're doing
a show, it's a good idea to deflate
bouncers during the show as it can
be a huge distraction for the
children. |
|
|
|
Supervision - Your children want to
share this experience with you! If
parents are engaged, the children
will be too. Adults love Animal
parties just as much as the kids.
Sometimes it's the first time
parents (and grandparents!) ever
touch a snake! If some adults wish
to socialize, please do so away from
the presentation area to eliminate
distraction and noise. |
|
|
|
|
|
After the Party |
|
|
|
Clean Up
- We always carry hand
sanitizer, but it is important that
all guests wash with soap and water
after handling animals. Make sure
children wash their hands before
eating! |
|
|
|
Gratuity
- Gratuity is not included
in the fee, but is optional. Our
staff sincerely appreciates your
gratuity for a job well done.
|
|
|
|
Returned Check Policy
- Reptile
Addictions & Exotics is happy to
offer the privilege of accepting a
check payment the day of the show.
Any returned check is subject to a
$35.00 collection fee plus a $10.00
insufficient funds fee when returned
check happens initially. If payment
is not resolved immediately, there
will be a $10 fee added on per week
from the original event date. Any
amount not paid in full within 30
days is subject to additional
interest, penalties, collection
fees, and/or additional court fees.
By writing a check the day of the
show, the check writer agrees to
these terms. |
|
|
|
Goodbye
- If you have not booked us
to stay for additional time, we do
leave promptly since we often have
multiple parties to attend. Happily
for us, animal parties are very
popular. |
