For Assemblies, PTA meetings, Class Parties - Snake Encounters is deeply educational, but the kids will have too much fun to notice. There are so many misconceptions and wrong assumptions that often pass down from generation to generation, that learning the truth can be genuinely enlightening, opening new doors to understanding and wonder. There is no topic that carries a more visceral connection, as the common myths about snakes can inspire dread. Plus, the resulting misinterpretations of live encounters in the wild, leads to an outright phobia. In this case, the term is Ophidiophobia. No one has a better track record helping people overcome it, than Daryl. The cure for fear, is knowledge. Understanding. Framed in relevant funny moments and punctuated with topical magic, they dawn organically, and fear melts like ice on a warm day.

These shows work great for larger crowds. The more the merrier, though for big groups, multiple shows divided by age allow tailoring the delivery to them, but big mixed groups can be accommodated. Daryl encourages a hands-on experience, so in a classroom setting there will be interaction time, but even with a large audience, they can file out on either side of a table where I have Neon, my 14ft puppy dog of a big yellow python, that they can meet and pet, on the way out.
