Teressa did a great job for my 4-year-old daughter's birthday party. We had to reschedule due to rain, and she was able to make it work. The kids loved the snakes, the tortoises eating, and the lizards. Even the adults were entertained! Her pricing is very good as well. The birthday girl got to be a helper and have first touch/hold of all the reptiles. At the end, she was also given a small scroll and some snake skin shed as a souvenir. She does shows all over. We are located in Contra Costa County, but she had a show in Sacramento booked right after. Thank you, Teressa! read more

Teressa and her crew put on the most amazing show for our 7 year old's birthday party! He had the time of his life. It was so lovely to see him so relaxed and happy with the beautiful reptiles. All the kids had an absolute blast too, parents were telling me how much they enjoyed the show and appreciated the care Teressa took sharing her beautiful animals. The birthday boy got special attention, seated on stage, and then all the kids could gently pet the animals. Seeing the awe on their faces was so precious. We have had many birthday shows, and this one was hands down the absolute best! Younger and older kids alike had fun, can't recommend highly enough! Thank you, a thousand times! You made his birthday read more

Lizard Lady Reptiles - Performing Arts Near Me

Lizard Lady Reptiles came to our home and put on a great show for our children's birthday party. We couldn't have been happier, and all the kids (and even adults) had a great time seeing and learning about the different reptiles (lizards, snakes, etc) Lizard Lady arrived right on time and the show was worth the price of admission. I'd definitely recommend Lizard Lady to anyone looking to add a reptile show to your party or event. read more

Had Gladys and Star come with their reptiles for our daughter's 8th birthday and they were a huge hit! It was a crew of 12+ kids from ages 7-13 and everyone (including all the parents) were amazed - the highlight was our birthday girl wearing a python on her shoulders (ala Britney Spears) and every kid getting a turn - truly the best photo op and souvenir ever. Booking was easy - sending details via email to Teressa, confirming with Gladys via text, arrived exactly on time - but stayed later than expected to accomodate everyone who wanted to ask questions and pet the animals. They were very professional and took the utmost care of the animals too - you can tell Gladys and Star really love these guys. Make sure to bring cash for payment and tips! Have to say that compared to other similar lizard experiences (which are tagged as party entertainment, while Lizard Lady is tagged as performing arts) - the prices are much, much more reasonable. It's still expensive but more than $100 less than one other lizard party operation that I contacted. Only caveat - more than one little girl was saying, "I want a snake!" - so...good luck with that! read more

My daughter says, "Best birthday party ever!" Gladys and Star were so kind and calm and experienced with the kids, and the kids were spellbound getting to meet each creature and interact with them. It was really cool for the adults to watch as well. The snakes were so calm and seemed comfortable being handled, draping around people's necks, etc. The turtle ate some grapes out of my daughter's hand and explored the playground a bit. The lizards were lovely too. A skink with a blue tongue--cool! read more

We had the pleasure of working with Teressa for my sons birthday. She is very knowledgeable and passionate about the reptiles she owns and works with. Overall a wonderful experience. Kids and adults in attendance loved it. Would absolutely recommend for a unique event experience. read more

I hired the lizard lady 4 years ago(2015) and her show was a big hit with my son !! So much that he actually remembered her 4 year later and here I am happy that she's still around !!! She was very punctual, professional, friendly and entertaining. We had a group of 20+ children and she was able to keep them captivated and involved in her presentation. She even caught the attention of the adults which then watched her show and she did well with the large crowd and made everyone comfortable. I'm looking forward to working with her again soon I hope she's available for my so to be 8year old! read more

Wow Wow Wow!!!!!! What a wonderful experience. From the youngest to the oldest each person had a blast. Even grandpa learned something new. Teressa and her gang are beyond just animal wranglers at a birthday party. They are educators and conservationists as well. Teaching and guiding as they share their beautiful menagerie of creatures. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for this most unique and beautiful experience. You brought sunshine to our backyard read more

Teresa you are truly wonderful! The lizard lady visits our kindergarten program yearly and always goes above and beyond impressing our class. She is very interactive with the children. I love that they get the touch all the reptiles and even hold a snake. She also gives our kinders information on where the reptiles come from, what they eat, and any other special features! It's been about a week since she visited us and the students are so intrigued by reptiles! One student said they went to a pet store over the weekend to look for a pet snake. read more

I hired The Lizard Lady for my son's 9th bday and we had Aimee come out and give us a super cool reptile show, It was amazing. Aimee was super nice and had all the kids involved which was super nice. My son loves reptiles and it was very hard finding someone local but Teresa made it possible for them to come out to Gilroy. Highly recommend them!! Thanks Aimee! Veronica Marquez read more

We had Teressa do her show for my son's 5th birthday party and I cannot say enough good things about her and her show. From my first contact with her, Teressa was super easy to work with and always got back to me promptly. We ended up having more kids than originally expected (over 20 of them), but she was a true pro and had both the kids and adults totally engaged. My son is obsessed with dinosaurs and reptiles so this seemed perfect for our party. Teressa is awesome at showcasing her reptiles while providing age appropriate information that kept the group interested. She has a great variety! She also included some dinosaur facts that my son was so excited about. They were great about letting those who wanted to (kids and adults) have the opportunity to touch them. The show was about 45 minutes and this was definitely the highlight of the party. The best kind of learning is when you don't even realize that's what you're doing and this show totally fits into that category. It was so interesting and a lot of fun. Worth every penny. Would highly recommend Teressa if you have a dinosaur or reptile obsessed kid or are just looking for a unique experience for your next party. Thank you, Teressa for making my son's birthday party so memorable! You guys were amazing!! read more

I recently took my kids to see The Lizard Lady at the Western Addition Branch of the SF Public Library. A very fun time for the whole family. She presented to a group of about 15 kids, and kept them amazed and asking questions for 1/2 hour. She arrived with about half a dozen duffel bags and crates, and each one held an enormous, interesting-looking animal. Large snakes, a cute tortoise, even a trained skink! My kids have seen her three times and they look forward to her shows at the library. We're planning to book The Lizard Lady for a party too! So fun! read more

Lizard Lady Reptiles - The Lizard Lady at the Western Addition Library - Performing Arts Near Me

Teressa performed a reptile show for my son's 6th Birthday Party outside at a park and we couldn't have been more impressed. It was amazing how well they were with the kids, the kids all got quiet and were listening to the great instructions that were provided. I think some of the parents may have had more fun than the kids!! Great hands on experience for everyone and I would do it again in a heartbeat. read more

Gladys and Sharon were great and so easy to work with for my son's 4th birthday party. They were wonderful with the kids, and many of the parents were amazed to see how interested their children were in the reptiles and how willing they were to engage with them. The team made sure all the children had turns petting or holding the lizards and snakes, and the kids had a blast. During the event, several other parents even asked about how to book The Lizard Lady for parties of the siblings of kids who attended. When I asked my son what his favorite part of his party was, he said "the reptile show." I would highly recommend The Lizard Lady; it was truly a great time for kids and adults alike! read more

Teressa is great!!!!! She came to my son's 5th birthday and all the kids loved it, adults too. She showed up a little early to get set up and then we were all ready for reptile fun! It was s surprise for my son and all the guests, so everyone was pretty excited when the animals came out. The variety of animals was great, she explained each one. My son was her helper and got to hold each animal, then they were passed around. Holding a snake around your neck is quite the experience. She made it so fun and interactive! I will hire her again and again! read more

We hired Lizard Lady Reptiles for our son's birthday party. They were a huge hit with kids and adults equally fascinated by the lizards, snakes, and tortoises. The two ladies were excellent in dealing with young children, showcasing all the reptiles and allowing everyone a chance to touch the reptiles if they wished. We later received many compliments from the kids and parents for the great event. Highly recommended! read more

Had a great time admiring the nature of reptiles! Only thing is that small kids are a challenging crowd and the set up and show could have been a bit more suited for that. Overall a good experience. read more

Both the lady and the show were AWESOME. She came all the way up to Santa Rosa in February 2017 and dazzled the whole gang at a 5th birthday party. Not quite sure who enjoyed it more, the kids (ages 3-13) or the adults... an avid herp fan, I saw animals I was unfamiliar with, got to touch and hold them, and learned some great facts! Responsive contact both before and after the show, I cannot recommend The Lizard Lady enough to make for a fun, MEMORABLE event! read more

She is amazing. She came to our church's Mid week program and entertained all of our kiddos. We had almost 100 kids. She keep them entertained and calm for the whole time. I can't recomend her enough! read more

Teressa was great!!! We had her for our son's 5th birthday party. She was able to manage 20 kids with ease. The kids were enchanted by her calm voice and all the cool reptiles she brought with her. My son and his friends were raving about it and loved being so close to the snakes!! It was easy to book her online and Teressa was very prompt in her response. Would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for ideas for birthday parties...well worth it!! read more

We just enjoyed the most wonderful 8th birthday party for my daughter with the Lizard Lady! Teressa the Lizard Lady and her husband Patrick were a great team. They arrived right on time, and did such a fantastic presentation with all the reptiles they brought. It was both informative and entertaining. Teressa has a very calm demeanor and is great with the kids. She clearly has a true passion for what she does. The kids and adults were spellbound, and we all thoroughly enjoyed it. It was so fascinating to see all the different reptiles up close, and to learn about them, and even a bit about their personalities. As a normally snake-averse person myself, I have a much greater appreciation for them now - enough so I was even willing to hold one and wear one on my neck - something I never thought I would do! My daughter was absolutely thrilled with the experience, and it will be a wonderful lifelong memory for all of us. I can't say enough good things about it. I highly recommend the Lizard Lady! :) read more

Lizard Lady came to my sons birthday, and had all the 7 year old boys totally mesmerized by her wonderful exotic friends! Theresa pitched just perfectly to the children, where as well as touching and holding these awesome creatures, they simultaneously learned about their habitat, feeding habits, quirks etc... Sooo happy that my husband called on the Lizard Lady for our sons' birthday party and would heartily recommend her..... read more

We hired The lizard lady reptiles for my son's 8th birthday party yesterday. My son is really into reptile and while we can't have a snake we decided to give him a very special experience. Teressa and Patrick drove a long way to come to us during a pandemic. They arrived with masks, kept their distances. They are incredibly professional. We felt safe to have them over in our yard and it really made all the children so excited and happy after months and months of stay at home order. They care and love their reptile pets with so much passion, we felt so safe and amazed to experience such an extraordinary show. She have some very unusual species that she had rescued and care for over 30 years. I cannot recommend them enough !Their reptiles are so gentle and used to being handled. I will definitely hire them again ! This will be a day we will never forget ! Thanks Teressa and Patrick for being so loving to your pet and for making this experience unique yet still safe during a pandemic. read more

The Lizard Lady, actually a mother-daughter team, was amazing for my daughter's birthday party. Scheduling was a breeze (working with the younger Lizard Lady) as it was easy to communicate by email. She was right on time and so professional. My 4 year old daughter, her friends, and all the parents loved the presentation with lizards, snakes, a tortoise, and an interesting lizard that looked like a snake. It was just as educational for the adults as the kids. I also thought it was cool that a portion of the fee went towards rainforest conservation. I highly recommend the Lizard Lady! read more

Lizard Lady Reptiles - My daughter loved the Lizard Lady for her 4th birthday party - Performing Arts Near Me

Amazing and educational for adults and kids. I really didn't care for reptiles until we had the Lizard Lady come for our son's 5th birthday party. Tiffany was wonderful with the kids and she is very passionate about these reptiles. Some of the proceeds go into helping save the reptiles in the rainforest, which is awesome in my book. My 8 year old son now wants the Lizard Lady for his 9th birthday party. We'll be booking again for December. read more

I cannot say enough kind words about Teressa and her husband!! Not only did they keep 15 young kids entertained (which we know if a huge accomplishment), but how she handled and talked about her animals was beautiful. You can tell they are all well loved and are not just "show animals." I would recommend The Lizard Lady to anyone who would like a fun, educational 45 minute event. It was a perfect addition to my daughter's 3rd birthday! read more

Lizard Lady was perfect for my son's sixth birthday party! Her animals are amazing and she and her helper were great with the kids. My son just said, "I want Lizard Lady for all of my birthday parties until I turn 19." There's no better endorsement than that! read more

For my daughter's 8th bday, I booked the Lizard lady with the greatest of ease (hehe). Things went smoothly with one email to make our request; one phone call to solidify a date, time and cost; one more email to confirm payment went thru. I like that simple straight forward way about things. I never confirmed again, and come the day of the party, the Lizard Lady and all her many reptiles arrived right on time. The Lizard Lady is a natural teacher and very good with kids. She is firm yet gentle and set the rules so the animals where kept safe, and the children were treated with respect. read more

Teressa came to our house with her entourage to skinks, lizards, snakes and tortoises for my son's birthday party. The 8-year olds had a blast and my son said it was the best birthday ever.

Dear Teressa, I do not have enough words to express how wonderful Tyfynny was! My son had the best time of his life and I have not seen him that thrilled before. He was so content and so happy with all the sweet performers she brought with her. Bob was my favorite! Thank you for doing what you do and making our party the best party we have had so far. Mainly because everyone could see my son glowing in his happy place! Thank you and good luck with all your shows. Keep up the great work and give an extra hug from me to your very talented daughter. Kind Regards, Udita read more

Tyffany was a hit at my son's birthday party yesterday. She handled the kids so smoothly, captured their interest, and made an educational experience very fun and informative. My son Sam was completely enthralled with his special spot of prominence on top of the tortoise box along with accompanying opportunities to be a tree upon which a snake rested and slithered. Many guests also commented how they appreciated the Lizard Ladies' work with Rainforest Action League and how they felt "good" for participating. So, this is just a short and effusive review to say, "You won't be sorry if you hire these folks!" read more
