Austin Reptile Show came out and did a show for my 1st and 2nd graders at Hornsby-Dunlap elementary to great success. Michael and his animals were easily the highlight of my after-school class, and the show was both engaging and entirely hands on. This was not your average sit and watch while someone drones and shows you animals you can't touch show. The kids got to hold various lizards and snakes and learned an incredible amount of information that supplemented the learning they'd been doing all semester all while Michael dealt extremely well with my rowdy group and their inability to keep from talking in their excitement. He was incredibly patient with the kids who were scared of the animals and by the end almost all of them were as engaged as those who had been eager from the start. I would absolutely recommend Austin Reptile Show to anyone looking for a hands-on, live demonstration with some really neat animals. The service was top notch, and the kids were amazed and engaged. The alignment with the TEKS was an added bonus! Protip: If you can spare the money, add the extra 15 minutes to the end of your show. Each second is worth it! read more

This is a family friendly show with quite a few craft and several dessert venders as well as lots of exotic pets and supplies. My son loved seeing all of the cool varieties of snakes, as well as lizards, geckos, turtles, and frogs. This expo also had mammals. We got to hold a hedgehog, and the sugar gliders were so adorable. I even managed to pick up a couple of Christmas presents (crafts, not animals.) If you are looking for an exotic pet, this is the best way to get one. You can tell these breeders really care about their animals. read more

Mike and his snakes, lizards and tortoises, are wonderful. Mike was so good with the kids, even my wild, reptile obsessed 6 year old. When he left, someone looked at me and said, "The kids are gonna remember this forever" and they will! Even the adults got in on the action. Such great presentation and show. Mike is the best!! read more

Austin Reptile Show and Mike were amazing! My son really wanted a reptile show and was constantly looking at their Facebook page and pics. We booked them for his 5th birthday and it was amazing!!

Now my only problem is how I will beat this next year! read more

Mr. Mike came to my daughter's 5th birthday and did an AMAZING job. He was entertaining, informative, and absolutely wonderful with the kids. I can't stress how patient and attentive he was with the children. We had a group of all ages and he made sure everyone who wanted to interact with the animals got to do so and do so at their own comfort levels. Everyone had a really great time, adults included. I would highly recommend Austin Reptile Shows for birthdays and events. read more

This was my 7 yr old daughter's dream birthday party. Mr. Mike did not disappoint. He was amazing! He was very engaging, knowledgeable, and most importantly fun!! The kids and parents loved everything about this show. He changed a lot of adult's minds about snakes too. It's very interactive and the animals are all very calm and friendly which is a reflection of the way they are cared for in my opinion. We may need to book him again just for a fun play date. I couldn't say enough nice things about this experience. read more

Mr Mike came yesterday and did a 1 hour show for my daughter's 6th birthday party. It was fantastic! Every person there, young and less young ;P , had a great time. Mike was engaging, excellent with the kids, kind, educational, punctual and professional. The energy Mr Mike brought even compelled my husband, who is terrified of snakes, to hold the boa constrictor! I highly highly recommend Austin Reptile Shows. read more

Mike just did a birthday party for us today, for my nine year old...BOY! Let me say - that is a lot of boys holding a lot of reptiles, and he was very calm, educational, and peaceful, to share information with all those boys! He took all questions from the kids and gave great answers back. His pets were very well behaved, thank goodness ;) and the kids (and adults) had a blast. It was a memorable experience and even our 3 year old daughter had no quams with holding the snakes. We really enjoyed the birthday party and I thought it was one of my favorites (saying a lot as I have four kiddos!). He was on time, set up was easy. So...I highly recommend them if you are considering a reptile party. read more

Mike with Austin Reptile Shows is amazing!! I've gotten to see his presentation a few time (at school functions and at a private party). Mike is so very knowledgeable. It's fun to see kids who thought they were afraid of reptiles/snakes get excited and actual hold a snake! Mike's shows are very engaging, very hands on! Kids and adults both have a great time learning about the different reptiles. Without hesitation, I highly recommend Austin Reptile Shows! read more

I am beyond happy with having hired him to come to the party. I highly recommend. read more

Mike comes to our kindergarten classroom every year and the kids absolutely love it! He holds their attention for the whole time he is here. You can tell he really cares about the reptiles and he instills that in his audience. I have always been terrified of snakes but he has always made me feel more comfortable with my fear and I am even will to touch a few! We are keeping our fingers crossed that they will be able to open up a location where we can go visit all their animals one day on a field trip. You guys are great!!! read more
