Education and events are one of the most important things that we do with the goal of educating the community and the general public about misunderstood reptiles and amphibians. With education as our top priority, we enjoy the opportunity to provide lectures and educational presentations on a variety of topics from basic reptile care to more advanced classes in genetics and biology. Below are descriptions of the opportunities we offer and the associated costs. Shows and Presentations Shows and presentations that have a main purpose of entertaining and educating the audience through interaction and displaying of various animals. These types of events work well for small school or community assembly meetings (such as scout groups, church groups), birthday parties, libraries, company and corporate events, and other similar types of events of this nature. Initial Fee                                            1 Group for 1 Hour $150 Additional Groups                              $50 per Group Additional Time                                  $50 per 30 minutes Special event rates and discounts can be discussed on a case by case basis. Special pricing is available for organizations that wish to schedule multiple shows within a year. Fee Disclaimer: Fees are used to offset the cost of liability insurance and support as a whole. The presenter is insured. Fees may be used in part to offset the travel expenses of the presenter(s) on a case-by-case basis. Animal Disclaimer: Animals brought by the presenters are owned by them unless otherwise noted. Attendees are normally welcome to touch or pet most of the animals we bring with the use of hand sanitizer while appropriately controlled by the presenter. We do not normally allow attendees to hold or handle animals, although exceptions may be made. We cannot make any guarantees as to the behavior or temperament of any animals while at the event. Animal availability usually depends on what we currently have available. Educational Tables Educational tables are events with stationary display enclosures and educational handouts or other materials, and usually include two or more animals for display and periodic opportunities for touching or petting on a rotating basis. Attendees are welcome to come and go as they please, as well as ask questions and interact with our attending board members or volunteers. These are typically one or two tables, and typically last in duration from about one hour to up to 8 hours, also depending on the event.These stationary events work well for many different events we attend, including for community fairs and festivals, Renaissance Festivals, nature centers, pet stores, local museums and science centers, libraries, comic con and Anime type events, and other events. Educational tables are usually free of charge where education is the main focus, although there may be a fee if there are greater risks or expenses to bringing live animals (i.e. outdoor events, etc.), or if entertainment is more of a main purpose.For more information about our events, or if interesting in having us for an event, send an email to specialtyserpents@gmail.com
