My little man is a natural-born dirt-loving, bone-digging, thrill-seeking explorer; so when it came time to plan his 7th birthday party, I knew I needed to get creative.
Scrolling through Facebook, I came across some photos of Iceman Reptiles doing a kid's birthday party and knew that was exactly what we needed! I e-mailed Scott, and he quickly replied with various options he could provide, and I opted for a 90-minute party. In hind site, a 60-minute party would have been adequate for the attention span of 20, 5 to 7-year-olds, but we loved having the extra time to really get up close and personal!
| Scott captivated the kids by educating them while showing them the variety of reptiles he had brought. |
|
| Kids were able to be as hands on as they wanted, while respecting the rule that if someone did not want to touch a reptile, no one was allowed to pressure them into doing so. Meet Miss Diamond! |
|
| The snake was even tame enough for toddlers! |

We had an absolute blast at the party; learning about each species before we let it crawl or slither all over us. Kids learned about the difference between a turtle and tortoise, about the Leachianus Gecko, and got to hold a 60lbs Burmese Python. If you are looking for someone to do a reptile party or just all around amazing party entertainment, go check out Iceman Reptiles for a party they will never forget!
Party prep was kept super simple (thank you, Amazon). Decorations consisted of a jungle party balloon garland, ivy vine leaf photo wall that we ended up hanging in the doorway as a room divider, some table decor and some leaf serving dishes. All decorations and party favors have been linked below:
