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 at a Dylan & Stella’s Double-Birthday Halloween Extravaganza in Cambridge! With all these zombies, mummies & ghosts, my snakes were the least scary things in the room, for once! Soon, kids & parents alike were getting lots of snake-cuddles and many fell in love with…
There’s so many things that made this particular visit extra-special. We’ve been blessed by this family in so many ways over the years so it was an absolute joy to be able to share our slithery blessings with them! I also got to spoil them with a special treat…
Lucas’ birthday party in Sackville was a blast! Lucas did such a good job introducing his friends & family to these amazing animals and soon parents & kids, alike, were cuddling with snakes!

We had a blast celebrating Arianna’s birthday in Fall River! Many were certain they didn’t want to touch or hold any snakes, but it didn’t take long before they fell in love with those full-body snake hugs! Watching children challenge themselves and push past their anxieties is, without a doubt,…
