Today, October the 3rd, Deb and I were doing a big hands on reptile display at the Baldivis Children's forrest" along side Lani Shanti and her Medusa Reptile Services display.
Double the amount, double the fun. 😂🐍🐍🦎🦎

If anyone was trying to get hold of us, this is the reason we didn't get back to you as we never heard the phone ringing. Lots of excited kids being loud, lol. 😂
A special thank to our friend Jayden Smith and son with their assistance, a fellow relocator and reptile enthusiast. 💖
Any youngsters in the video, we were given permission to have them there. 👍

Another great kids birthday party yesterday in Armadale. 👍🎂🐍🦎
The best part, as we don't have a time limit, was the amount of kids and adults alike, came out of their comfort zone and held some of our reptiles. 🐍🦎
The stand outs were the young birthday girl ending the day by holding all 4 of our big female carpet pythons at the same time, looking like a young Medusa. 💖🐍🐍🐍🐍
Another one was a very shy girl of around 10/11 yrs old.
When she arrived with her mum and sister, we offered her to touch/hold a stimmie/children's python.
She gave a very definite "no thank you". 😃
We never ever force any reptiles onto anyone. It has to come from them to want to hold something.
Eventually she held a small python and progressed to slightly bigger snakes, to holding our beautiful big black headed python at the end. 💖🐍
Unfortunately not photos.
We never ever take photos or videos of the kids, as we leave that up to the pare m to, etc.
We occasionally get permission, but make sure their faces are not visible, like the one of the birthday girl in the comments. 👍🐍🦎

As mentioned last week, we did a hands on reptile display with the Armadale SES on Saturday.
All.we can say is that it went over extremely well, with kids and adults alike. 👍🐍🦎
As we NEVER take pictures with children in it, we haven't got much to show from the day, unfortunately. The people from the SES were absolutely blown away and also with the amount of people throughout the day.
This is what happens every time we do these displays or birthday parties. 💖🐍🦎
