Snake Encounters

I engaged Daryl for my grandson’s 8 year Birthday Party and he outperformed any of my expectations! He didn’t eye his watch for the first chance to head out the door and he took more time than was arranged to teach the kids about the snakes, answered questions, and helped everyone (including me) handle a variety of snakes (even a very large python). Daryl is a cheerful, energetic guy who obviously loves his snakes and treats them with respect while educating the kids about why they are important in the chain of life. When kids receive a SNAKE PARTY invitation (that I created online with MS Publisher), the parents often attend as well and everyone has a great time. If you want to ENSURE that your child will have a good turnout at his/​her party and the child likes snakes, then call SNAKE ENCOUNTERS for a great Birthday event! You won’t be disappointed! Daryl happily poses for pictures with the birthday child and party attendees as well! Worth every penny! Daryl is our region’s Steve Irwin.

My kids look forward to seeing Daryl and Capone every year during the local library’s reading program. I don’t think the summer would be complete without a visit. It is very hard to keep that many kids focused and entertained for an hour, but he does it with ease, and enough humor to keep the adults wanting to watch too. The show is always informative and really sticks with you long after its over. If I could give more stars I would.

I am impressed with Daryl’s services. Even if I hate snakes it doesn’t mean I want to see them dead. They serve a purpose in life (except maybe the ones in the movie about a bunch of snakes on a plane). Daryl is actually compassionate to the animals and will help rescue or see that they get a good re-​location.
Daryl was far more knowledgable about snakes than others I spoke with. He took the time to educate me in regards to not all snakes with a big head being poisonous. I was happy to find someone who not only caught and removed the snake but took care of the snake afterwards and promised not to ever use it in a movie with Samuel Jackson.
PS — I did find out that Daryl is a magician and he will do parties with snakes or magic shows. So maybe some snakes may be used in shows.
