Review by Erin Patstone For Pete's Snakes is the best snake encounter experience I have ever seen (and I have seen many). Pete is engaging, fun, and informative. Even the most nervous children and adults usually end up holding snakes and falling in love because of the calm, pressure-free atmosphere. I can't say enough about how positive every single event is!

We are so grateful to Pete and Marsha for coming with Alice, Luke, Cameron, Shelby, Wilson, Robert and the rest of the gang to my daughter's 8th birthday party! Pete's enthusiasm is infectious, and he is able to share his vast knowledge of these incredible creatures at levels that little ones, bigger ones and adults can appreciate. He had the kids enthralled and engaged from the moment he started. We had a couple of kiddos at our party who swore, at the beginning, that they would never touch a snake, and by the end, they couldn't get enough of them draped over their shoulders, wanting to hold them all! Thank you SO MUCH for bringing us this wonderful experience!

Had Pete and his snakes there for my sons 3rd birthday party. It was overall a great experience my boy loved the snakes and Pete is very knowledgeable about his pets and teaches safe handling practices so all the kids could enjoy learning about snakes. He's very passionate and puts on a great display. Would highly recommend for anyone who's passionate about snakes! Thanks Pete

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

Review by Kelly Godfrey 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!

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 For Pete’s Snakes at my son’s birthday party. It was an awesome educational and fun experience! The kids (and parents!) had a blast! It was a unique party that the kids are still talking about. I highly recommend Pete and his snakes!!

Thank you very much For Pete’s Snakes Educational Serpent Encounters 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!

Pete and his team were phenomenal at Vacation Bible Camp at New Minas Baptist Church. He dealt with around a hundred children aged 3 to 12 and was able to share info at an age appropriate level with every group. He was patient with the kids and took time to answer all their questions. He was also very knowledgeable and clearly passionate about what he does. I highly recommend For Pete’s Snakes!

Pete and his team were amazing. They kept the kids engaged while teaching them about the snakes they brought. After the lesson, it was hands on time. Each child was allowed to express if they wanted to touch/hold the snakes. There was no pressure and even the adults got a chance to hold the snakes (if they wanted to). I think I learned more about the snakes than the kids which was pretty awesome for me. We will definitely be getting them out again.

This past weekend, Pete did a homeschool presentation for my son and three of his friends. We had the best time, kids and adults both. Pete is ridiculously patient with the kids, has a great sense of humor and is seriously passionate (and knowledgeable!) about his snakes. My son has a tendency to hang back when he's in a group setting and Pete went out of his way to spend time with him one on one and make sure that he enjoyed himself. He has definitely found his calling in these presentations.It can be hard to find opportunities for these kinds of experiences when you're homeschooling, especially these days, and I'm so grateful we got to do this. This is the highlight of our homeschooling year so far. I highly recommend him to other homeschooling families specifically, but also to literally anyone else with even the tiniest interest in snakes.10/10, we'd love to do it again some day 😉 Thank you again, Pete, Marsha and the long babies for an awesome time!

Pete has always been very friendly and kind when it comes to teaching people about snakes. He wants this experience to be great for kids and loves teaching them. My kids have learned so much, and he is always willing to answer questions. If you're concerned about Covid restrictions, he would be open to accommodating in order to make people comfortable. He just wants to make learning for kids fun. Honestly, I highly recommend his services.

Pete is amazing! What he does is amazing! I can’t recommend For Pete’s Snakes enough.In fact, I love what Pete does so much, that I gave him a retired breeder cornsnake so he could care for her and have another amazing, gentle animal for his educational shows. I love what Pete does so much, that KJP Reptiles will continue to support him as much as possible so that For Pete’s Snakes can grow and continue the amazing things they’re doing.Highly Recommended!

Pete is an all round great guy who loves to share his knowledge of snakes with others. It is a great experience for the kids for sure and I think it is great that they can get the proper information first hand while interacting with the snakes themselves. So many people have false ideas and information about snakes and form their opinions based on these false facts.

Pete makes education fun for everyone! Snakes are a huge fear factor for so many people, and by educating children, he’s able to help dispell many myths, curb developing fears, and preserve such delicate, and mystical species.

Pete is by far one of the best when it come to being both educational and approachable. I dont think I've ever met someone in this line of work that's more approachable and passionate ♡ I truly valu all that's learned and just adore the critters.

Pete’s passion for snakes is shown through the educational encounters he leads. A fun, educational way to learn more about more about snakes or a way to get over your fear of snakes in a safe environment. Highly recommend!
