What makes the Critterman's Reptile & Bird show more unique and  exciting that any other animal entertainment?   

1)  The Critterman has the only "HANDS ON" animal entertainment adaptable for all ages and occasions featuring the largest variety of REPTILES, BIRDS, AMPHIBIANS, ANTHOPODS / ARACHIDS -insects, bugs, spiders, and scorpions.

2)  The Critterman has the only parrot amed "Pogo" who loves to dance and talk with the audience.

3)  The Critterman's interactive presentations are exciting and most important educational and safe. Most of our critters are pets and are docile, calm, and gentle natured.  Most critters came from homes who were no longer wanted or could not care for them. We encourage and practice captive born and raised animals and to leave the wild in the wild.

4)  Children and adults  enjoy the Critterman Show.  Guests have the options to just observe or handle a variety of critters including; young alligators, 12' python, birds, lizzards, dragons, spiders, scorpions, tortoises, frogs, bugs, insects and more.

5)  Since most of the animals in Critterman's show are not common pets in most households, the audience will become educated about reptiles & birds. Everyone will learn interesting factoids and stories about each creature. Learn the basics of each species; such as their eating habits, habitat, husbandry, behaviors and any other questions your guest may have for the Critterman. The Critterman explains the benefits and dangers of reptiles and snakes, including habitat destruction and importing from the wild. He also explains which reptiles and birds may make good pets and the ones which to keep away from.

6)  The Citterman show brings many mixed reactions and emotions from the audience. Everyone will experience a fun educational experience with many laughs and a few screams.  The Critterman is adaptable during his animal performances according to ages of the audience. The audience has the rare opportunity to handle and take up close personal photos of reptiles, birds, amphibians and of course the anthopods. Many who fear and have phobias are laid to rest after learning how gentle, tame and unique most of the animals are.  After the Critterman's performance the children and adults a like will have had an enjoyable educational experience they will never forget.
