FAQ

Are your Animals Trained?

These animals are my personal pets. I wouldn’t say they’re “trained” exactly, but I’ve put a lot of time and love into them to make sure everyone stays safe and happy during our presentations.

Do they bite?

They certainly can! Just like us, they have mouths! BUT they have no desire to bite us. As these are my personal pets, they have been conditioned to trust us, so they have no reason to bite!

Are they poisonous?

None of my snakes or lizards are venomous. However, all tarantulas are venomous.

(“Poison” and “venom” are often used interchangeably, but they don’t mean the same thing. Ask me to explain the difference at your next event!)

Do you have a chameleon?

Yes, I got my one and only chameleon in April 2025! I didn’t have one for the longest time because they are sensitive pets and often don’t do well in captivity.

Do you have a king cobra?!

No… I wish! We aren’t allowed to have venomous snakes here in BC, but ask me about my experiences with venomous snakes down in the USA!

Do reptiles poop? Where do they poop from?

Yes, they poop! Like birds, reptiles have a cloaca… a single exit for poop, pee, and reproduction. It’s located where the body meets the tail (not at the tip)! Ask me to point out a snake’s butt at your next event!
Fun fact: reptiles and birds conserve water by turning liquid pee into a white paste called uric acid!

Why is Leo’s tail a different colour from his body? Does he change colours?

I have two theories! First: if Leo were to drop his white tail while his yellow body ran away, that might have distracted predators… a great survival trick in the wild!
Second: selective breeding! In captivity, we breed leopard geckos (and many animals) to have beautiful colours we like, which wouldn’t necessarily appear in the wild.
And no… Leo doesn’t change colours! BUT Sadie the Crested Gecko and Opal the Gargoyle Gecko CAN change colours when they “fire up” and “fire down”!
