Tipping the Scales Exotic Animal Experience

08/11/2025

Good morning to all of our loyal followers and Friends. How many of you are enjoying this blast of heat? Our reptiles are definitely enjoying it! So I am making this post to put some feelers out and to make a statement because we've had a lot of people asking us if we will be back next year. As of right now hopefully that is the goal that we will be back up and running next year. But I will be honest we have had a lot of issues with the economy the way it is and our entire basement flooding and dealing with the repercussions and loss of a lot of supplies and products for the animals from that so we are trying to financially recuperate from that and recoup in general. So how many people still want us around? We are looking at all of our options at the moment and while a storefront of some sort where people can come and see our animals and enjoy the shows that way has always been in the goals but now that is pushed even further out if we end up doing that. That being said we love what we do and we started this because we love reptiles and love the joy that we can bring to someone's face and seeing the reptiles that they might normally not get to see .We are very hopeful for 2026 but it is a day by day thing and we will keep you informed as we know more! We are very thankful for all the love and support you guys have given us over the last several years since we started out and it means more than you will ever know!

Good evening we hope you are all out enjoying this amazing weather while we have it! We unfortunately have to announce that for the 2025 season we will not be booking shows or events. We had our whole basement flood from bad plumbing and we are still recovering from that. We have to completely tear apart our basement and that will take up most of our time and finances at the moment. Lots of enclosures we now also have to rebuild. We thank you so much for always supporting us and we will be back up and running for 2026! Keep checking our page for updates and hints to new things coming in 2026!

Ahhhhh .. the dreaded wait. After set up, waiting for the event to start. It allows a humble, spoiled tortoise the opportunity to ponder. To eat this grass or not to eat this grass. That is the true question of today.

So excited to be invited out again! Be sure to come and see some of your favorite critters. As well as some new ambassadors. Don't forget the lawn chairs and a camera.

We are so excited to welcome back the animal ambassadors!
Event sponsored by the Friends of the Shelby Area District Library.

Are you looking for a fun new activity at your childs birthday party? Need a interesting fun addition to a summer event? Have some hand tame exotic animals out. We still have some dates available this summer. We would love to bring some ambassador animals out to wow your guests and make your event the talk of the community.

Well the snakes out of the bag! We have joined the chamber and hope that it will only further our reach to show people these amazing animals and help us continue our hands on experience for years to come.
