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 a blast at Joe’s birthday party in Kentville! It’s always extra-special visiting my neighbours in my own community and the Kentville Fire Hall is a gorgeous venue! My colubrids were all shedding but, thankfully, we had lots of pythons to fill=in and that turned out to be perfect…
We had an absolute blast celebrating Wesley’s birthday in Prospect Bay! He did a wonderful job helping his friends & family get to know these amazing animals! Watching anxiety melt away as children fall in love with their favourites has to be the most rewarding aspect of this work….
We had a blast celebrating Liam’s birthday in Dartmouth! It didn’t take long for their nervousness to melt away, and soon everyone was cuddling with their favourites. We’re so grateful for every invitation to share these special moments with families. Thank you SO much!
I’m always excited (and nervous ) to teach in new contexts, so I jumped at the chance to visit Dykeland Lodge retirement home when they invited us to share our pets with their residents. It was a first-time experience for many, yet everyone was so open to the experience,…

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,…
We had an awesome time at Kobey’s birthday in Bedford! I always warn guests that my pets won’t respect their personal boundaries and that was ESPECIALLY true for Kobey. Almost every snake he handled immediately poked down his shirt! We were also joined by a few of Dinah-Mite Pythons beautiful…
We had a fantastic time at the Family Resource Centre of West Hants this week! Many were nervous at first, but soon fell in love with those full-body snake-hugs. Coral was definitely the fan-favourite for her corn-snake shenanigans. Thanks to everyone who turned out! I’m so grateful to the Center…
We had a fantastic time celebrating a very special girl’s birthday! I first met Avalon and her family at our Bad Eyes Gallery appearance back in February, so I was overjoyed to reunite her with her slithery friends and introduce her to some of my new babies too! Now… I…
