Entertaining at large events like corporate parties, bar/bot mitzvahs and municipal fairs requires a special talent to keep everyone from the grandma to the CEO to the pre-schooler interested, amused and very happy. Snakes-N-Scales instructors possess this talent and with strange and exotic snakes, alligators, frogs, spiders, turtles, lizards or sea animals in tow, we will enthrall all present. We are expert at entertaining and informing all ages and interest levels with a combination of story telling, jokes, factoids, and anecdotes that will be the hit of every party we attend.
This show brings the biggest reptiles in any show within 100 miles, truly our WOW show.
It also usually brings our herpetologist, and founder Bill Boesenberg himself to your event. The “WOW” can come from watchinga nearly 100 lb America Alligator, “Blue,” sit in Bill’s lap, like a great black puppy; or from a 6 ft Water Monitor Lizard, “Elizardbeth,” hangout and sniff the air with her foot long tongue, while everyone laughs at the story of how she came to us; or you might be “Wowed” by getting to touch the gentle beautiful giant, “Hernia,” a 100 lb Burmese Python.
Everyone will learn and be amazed with a combination of humor, awe and compassion for creatures, to which few, ever get close.

“THIS IS THE BEST ANIMAL SHOW YOU’LL EVER SEE.”
The Snapping Turtle, the Coatimundi, the Python, the Fox,
the Alligator, the Wolf and a few surprises;
all go fang to fang in a comedic verbal game of
“my predator is better than yours,”
delivered by two of the most gifted animal presenters in the
United States,
Herpetologist Bill Boesenberg,
"Presssident" of
Snakes-N-Scales,
and Animal Expert Travis Gale,
owner of Eyes of the Wild.
Observe each of these animals live,
and find out which predator is the most successful, which is the most resourceful, the largest, the fastest, the smartest, which is the most dangerous to us and which are we the most dangerous to. Look through the animals’ eyes,as Travis and Bill use their years of experience to give the audience unique and unusual points of view. Learn about the predators habits and habitats, their ecology and their personalities, all while enjoying these two entertainers’ antics and skill.
This program easily accommodates a couple hundred people, and will keep them laughing, learning and interested for an hour and a half. Program can be made appropriate all ages
This show goes anywhere in NJ, NYC, Southern NY state, Delaware Valley PA, DE and CT, for $1500
This is a unique program to Snakes-N-Scales. It may include invertebrate animals such as the underwater strongman the Starfish, the peaceful but spiny Sea Urchins, the patient and still Sponge, the Red, White and Blue Patriot Crab, and the amazing Blue Lobster. Most of these are touchable and have no ability to hurt anyone.
Also included are several of the following fish, "the sharp bellied Clown Knife Fish, the weird, whiskered, Amazonian Arawana, the snake-like predator the Moray Eel, the freshwater bully, the Oscar or everyone’s favorite lost fish, the Clown Fish, just like in the movie!
(True fish are not touchable.)
This show will be presented over the course of an hour using our brand of jokes, stories and “animals’ eye views discussing what it’s like to live in the water, how these animals find food and avoid becoming food. This show will look at these incredible creatures in a fun hands-on, very interactive way to find the fun facts about these wonderful denizens of the deep and shallows.
You may also choose our unique Stingray activity.

SNAKES-N-SCALES
presents two of the most misunderstood animals on the planet,
the PIRANHA and the SHARK.
Our Red-bellied Piranha is available now and our Bamboo Shark in November 2010.
Please call Bill for all the details.
This is our most popular show.
Most of these animals can be touched under the watchful eyes of our instructor. We might bring lizards like a Bearded Dragon, or a Blue-Tongued Skink, or maybe a Leopard Gecko or a small Monitor Lizard; for turtles you might meet a Box Turtle, African Tortoise or a Red-foot Tortoise, (We have many water turtles as well, like Soft-shell and Snappers, but they can’t be touched.)
Representing the snakes we have all manner of Kingsnakes, Corn Snakes, Rat Snakes and Milksnakes.
The finale will be a big Boa Constrictor or an amazing Burmese Python. And as something only Snakes-N-Scales can bring to you, a baby American Alligator.
We'll talk about the specialties of each and what they eat,
joke about things they do and find out if these creatures make good pets.
Nearly all of the several hundred Snakes-N-Scales
Reptiles, Amphibians, Bugs, Spiders, Fish and Invertebrates can be used in our programs.
We’ve got more traveling animals than several major zoos combined!
So if there is some creature you want to see please ask us!

NORTH NJ (201,973,908,) $325 CENTRAL NJ & SI (732, 609, 856, 718 Excluding So NJ) $350 SOUTH NY (845, 914, 516, 631) $350 NYC (212, 718, 917, 646, 347) $460 No. PA (Delaware Valley), $350 CT (203) $350 PHILLY & SOUTH NJ (Atlantic, Cape May, Gloucester, Salem, Cumberland) $405
This presentation is informal, as people walk around they may, or may not, come over to our table and meet our creatures. This way if your event doesn’t have a means of getting everyone in one place for a show, people still could enjoy as they go. This would always involve the ability to touch some of the snakes, lizards and turtles but people could choose how much, or little they wished to do. The animals for this show maybe chosen specifically by your pack or you can leave it to us to surprise you.
This presentation may also be combined with a photo opportunity with one of our animals and it’s handler.
(People may not handle the animals alone.)
