Our hosts & parents have been incredibly generous in giving permission to post photos, and I am SO thankful! I hope these wonderful memories demonstrate the joy these amazing animals can bring as well as the rewards of overcoming anxiety! 
We had an absolute blast celebrating Garrett’s birthday at Sunken Lake on Saturday! They were quite tentative at first, but soon fell in love with the longbabies. Mom was quite adamant that she wouldn’t be handling any snakes, but the minute I turned around to check on everyone, she was…
We had a FANTASTIC time at Lockeport Elementary on Friday! Though we were delayed by a snow day last week, the extra week of anticipation had everyone very eager to finally meet the snakes! Even the most nervous kids eventually warmed to their charms, and it was absolute AMAZING to…
Today was a special outing with a family I know & love, celebrating Cara’s birthday! Cara’s a practiced snake-handler already, having attended two previous events, so it was an absolute joy to watch her share the experience with her friends. Robert the corn snake was absolutely INCORRIGIBLE today! He was…
We spent a lovely Sunday morning in Upper Sackville celebrating Tate’s birthday! The kids had lots of fun, but this event stood out because of all the brave parents who wanted to try some snake cuddles. Where children are always ready for new experiences, it’s much harder for adults to…
What a great afternoon at the Bad Eyes Gallery! It was my first event where the general public was welcome, so I wasn’t sure if we’d have much of a turnout, but it was standing room only! Thanks to everyone who came out! It was so great to meet you,…

We had a fantastic time with the Port Williams Embers!! Marsha & I both grew up in guides & scouting, so it was an absolute joy to spend the evening sharing the longbabies with the new generation! Many were snake-fans already, but a few were particularly nervous… but that’s why…
Such a great time in Kingston this afternoon! This party was delayed by last weekend’s snowstorm, but I think we made up for it with some great memories! One li’l guy couldn’t let me leave without a hug. Jaxen was already a snake lover, and he was SOOOO excited to…
This weekend was rather bittersweet. A winter storm forced a postponement of Saturday’s birthday party, which absolutely gutted me. There’s few things I hate more than disappointing children, especially on their special day! On the bright side, the rescheduling means Dinah-Mite Pythons will available to join us for the rematch,…
We had an awesome time celebrating Jack’s 6th birthday in Halifax on Sunday! They were so excited just to touch the snakes, they didn’t believe me when I told they they’d get to play with them. Pretty soon everyone was getting lots of snake hugs , including many moms &…
