The volume of positive reviews was slowing down that page! What a wonderful problem to have!! While these reviews may be older, they are still a constant source of encouragement for me and families thinking about taking the leap!
For Pete’s Snakes came to The Family Resource Centre of West Hants for a community event. It was such a great event and fun was had by all! A great mix of education and fun!

Pete has a variety of snakes and an immense knowledge of each kind and their individual personalities. The children LOVED the hands on experience and the education received was incredible. Pete has a great demeanor with the children and everyone really enjoyed the experience.

Canning Recreation Summer Activity Camp had a fantastic experience with Pete’s Snakes! They came to join our camp as a special guest and got the children so eager and excited to learn about snakes. Many “fears” of snakes before this experience mysteriously disappeared once they had a chance to hold a real snake! We would 100% work with Pete’s Snakes again

Pete and Marsha are so patient and knowledgeable. They do an amazing job
teaching us about snakes and respecting different comfort levels. Communication, reliability and inclusion are always top notch!
We highly recommend them and can’t imagine celebrating without For Pete’s Snakes!Kelly Godfrey
We had a wonderful experience with For Pete’s Snakes and Dinah-Mite Pythons at my daughter’s 10th birthday party. Pete was educational, engaging and professional. Every child (and adult) who wanted to have an experience with a snake was given the opportunity. Eventually almost all the children at the party held a snake or 2 or 3! They all came away (including myself) with a love of snakes! It will be an experience we will never forget. Thank you Pete!

We had a wonderful experience with Pete! He slowly introduced the serpents to a group of day campers who were quite nervous for his arrival. He then moved into touching the snake skin and then eventually holding the snakes. All of the campers and leaders touched or held at least one snake. All the children were engaged and excited to hold the snakes! Pete was very knowledgeable about his animals and great when talking to the children. Marsha and Sara also attended and were great helpers and also very informative about the snakes! We would 100% recommend For Pete’s Snakes!!

Pete was great at talking to the kids about the different kinds of snakes and their super powers. The kids were all engaged and excited to hold snakes. It was educational and so much fun! I definitely recommend Pete and his snakes for birthday parties or any other event, it was one of the most memorable birthday parties for my son.

My daughter and her friends were wowed during her birthday celebration! Pete connected with them, and his snakes were perfectly matched with the kids. Everyone got lots of cuddle time, and we all learned so much. This kind of ever my would work well for small groups, and well as for a larger group. Thank you so much Pete!

Amazing experience at Acadia university! Very informative and educational as well as fun. The snakes were great there was a size for everyone from the tiny sand boa to Alice (she might be my favorite don’t tell the others). Was very respectful of people boundaries with snakes and never pushed anyone but allowed people to get over their fears calmly.

We absolutely loved working with For Pete’s Snakes! Pete is EXCELLENT with children and there is no pressure at all for anyone to touch a snake if they do not feel comfortable doing so. He cares for his snakes deeply and is very educational. My son had a great party with his friends (so did the adults!!)! We would recommend For Pete’s Snakes without hesitation!
Thank you, Pete! You made our son’s birthday very special!
PS: We love the names you give your snakes 😉Audrey Goud

Thank you very much For Pete’s Snakes for the fantastic day at Lockeport Elementary School. We had an amazing educational and investigative day which supported even our most nervous students and adults to feel so safe that they chose to handle the snakes. Even now our staff can hear students celebrating the learning you led and they are hoping you may return to visit us again soon. Your depth of knowledge and skill with facilitating student-led learning strategies were displayed flexibly with the entire scope of our students from the pre-primary students to the sixth graders. The level of professionalism, adaptability, and communication shown by you and your team has made the organization of our day together flawless including detailing safety practices and expectations. Thank you and we would highly recommend others schools to book this incredible educational opportunity.

We hired Pete for my son’s 9th birthday. Here’s what my son has to say about his experience: “I LOVED it. Everybody was included, and people who did not want snakes on them were not forced and respected. The snakes slithering on my hands and neck were really cool. My friends still talk about it at school!”

Pete did a fantastic job at our Messy Science day event! He taught over 50 kids and youth about snakes and everyone got to hold one. There was a good variety of sizes and types so that those who were a little reluctant at first could feel more comfortable holding a small snake. It was the best activity of the day!

Where can we even begin to express the lovely interaction that we had with Pete and his snakes!
For my sons 7th birthday, we wanted to something unique. My son adores everything nature and it’s creatures. So we thought it would be wonderful to learn about snakes.
Pete and his team did not disappoint. We learned so much. And what a friendly and patient man Pete is. 10 busy kids and he answered every question they had with such enthusiasm. Such a kind man. We can’t thank him enough for such a great experience!!

My son, daughter, and I had the pleasure of seeing Pete’s interactive show at a friend’s birthday party. It was very entertaining and informative. I would normally be afraid of snakes but felt at ease watching them be handled by my children. Pete has a very calming effect and is amazing with them. I highly recommend!

Where do I begin? Well, I seen Pete on the news and couldn’t believe there was someone out there that loved snakes as much as my son and I.
The news segment was a God send as my boy and I were looking for some expertise to help us with our passion. I reached out to Pete and got an immediate response. He was so eager to help and educate us.
His knowledge was second to none and his ability to communicate effectively and efficiently was fantastic. I asked Pete if my son and I could see his snakes and he set up a private viewing on a Saturday afternoon for my son and I. It was AMAZING!!!
If you have the pleasure and opportunity to book Pete for a birthday or special occasion – don’t hesitate, he is worth his weight in gold.
