Hello fellow herp enthusiasts. Yesterday, my aunt who works for a local large business informed me that the owner was wondering if I would be interested in doing reptile birthday parties. Obviously I want to, but I need some more ideas before I go talk to the owner. Here are my thoughts

Activities:

1)birthday parties (the original idea but I would want to do more)
2)feeding shows-have feedings of the snakes that people who want to are able to watch
3)Educational shows-hands on experience with the kids, have a bunch of different reptiles and teach the kids about each one and have the opportunity to handle them. The goal is to change people view on reptiles, mainly snakes
4) If we are able to get more reptiles and keep them there, hopefully we would be allowed to breed and teach people about it. The offspring would also be able to be sold

Animals:

albino burmese- i definitley want to have a big snake to show, and i believe that a burmese would be the best since they are calmer (slower) than retics. this is at the top of my list

red tail boa or other semi large- I want to have a semi large snake to show as well, and i have had a fascination with rtbs and other such snakes

tortoise- tortoises are cool and kids would love to see them

chameleon- colorful, my friend who would be assisting me might be getting one soon so that would cover it

iguana- nice sized lizard, very calm and a well known reptile

monitor- they already have an adult savannah there

ball pythons- my friend and i have a bunch. my favorite snake and great for kids

geckos- nice small lizards, calm and nice for kids to see

corn snake- friend has one

tarantula- some kids like spiders, adds variety

giant gecko-big awesome geckos. love how they look and how calm they are

beardies- friend has some, great lizard

tree boa- they are really cool looking, and also is there to show kids to not just pick up any snake they see, as SOME can be dangerous


any ideas are very much appreciated. I want to make it clear that I am in this for the reptiles, not too just buy stuff to show off. hopefully this goes well and we are able to do what we want
