MEET 6 of our superstars
A tiny taste of the Scaly Safari Crew — the rest are waiting to blow your mind
🐍 Marmalade — Burmese Python Royalty
Sweet, calm, and jaw-droppingly beautiful, Marmalade is one of the gentlest giants you'll ever meet. She melts fears, inspires confidence, and is living proof that pythons can be absolute cuddle-marshmallows.
🦎 Indie — The Technicolour chameleon Diva
Indie doesn’t walk into a room — he colour-changes his way onto centre stage. With hypnotic eyes that swivel like CCTV cameras, he’s one of the most mesmerising animals we bring to your event.
🐾 Dave — The Pink-Eyed Tenrec
He looks like a hedgehog… except he isn’t one. Dave is a tiny Madagascan mammal with pink eyes, a big personality, and an even bigger fan club. Children adore him.
🦎 Merlin — The Red Monster Bearded Dragon
Bright red, unbelievably chill, and the king of classroom cuddles and chin tickles. Merlin is the magical dragon every kid wishes they could take home.
🐍 Apollo — The Brazilian Rainbow Boa
Genuinely sparkles under the lights — he’s like a living oil-slick rainbow. One of the most jaw-dropping snakes on Earth (and super friendly!), and a guaranteed “WOW!” every single time.
🐝 Honey — Mexican Red-Leg Tarantula
She’s glam, she’s gorgeous, and she knows it. Honey’s calm nature and supermodel poise, she helps kids face their fears and learn that spiders aren’t actually plotting their doom. (Probably.)
