June 17, 2026Fantastic for Libraries
This is an excellent show! They bring a TON of animals and they allow the kids to interact with them. They introduce everyone, but the majority of the show is getting to hold and touch the reptiles, which is what the kids really want.

September 2, 2025College students loved it!
Reptile adventures came for our annual back to school bash and everyone loved it! Students were excited to see some amazing snakes and other reptiles at the end of their first week of classes. We had over 1500 people at the event, and Reptile Adventures was a huge hit!

I am so happy we found Reptile Adventures and decided to go with the reptile show! Paul was our instructor and he was wonderful with the kids and creatures, he taught us a lot, was really patient, and did an excellent job! All of the kids AND adults loved the party, even those who thought they’d be scared!

About
Reptile Adventures is a result of Paul and Joanna Hernandez's passion for animals and specifically reptiles. They both have a deep desire to see others experience the awe and wonder of these amazing creatures. With their extensive combined background and experience with animals and people, they bring an absolutely amazing show creating the most incredible memories for you and your family.
Animal Welfare Manager Joanna (Paul's lovely wife) was born and raised in Pickaway County and specialized in Zoo Keeping for many years. She has a degree in natural science and historical interpretation.
Paul has been a reptile enthusiast since childhood and has worked diligently to educate the public about the importance of reptiles in our ecosystem.
They both share a commitment and dedication to serving their local community and that of the surrounding area.
They love bringing their reptiles to community events such as seasonal festivals, Scout picnics, 4-H club meetings and more!
Additional booking notes
Depending on the size of the venue, we would require 3-6 tables and a PA system. For most birthday parties and smaller events, we can provide the tables and a small PA system if need be. Due to the variation and uniqueness of each event we typically discuss technical details during the booking process.
