Welcome to our website!


 The Reptileman has been working with reptiles for over 30 years. In 1991 Richard developed an educational and entertaining presentation for children to learn from and enjoy. In 1988 the Reptileman also developed a surgical procedure relating to venomous snakes called an Adenectomy. The removal of the venom glands has enabled Richard to utilize this group of reptiles in a safe professional manner.

Dear Richard,

I just had to drop you a quick line and tell you how much we enjoyed your show at the kids’ party today.  Colin and Nathan had a GREAT time, and so did all of the kids and grown-ups, too!  You really do a wonderful job with your presentation.

We are really fortunate to have had you and all your friends visit us today.  All of the parents were really impressed!  One person said it was the best party she had ever been to.

It is really mesmerizing to watch you with all of the children paying rapt attention.  It is miraculous to see an adult tell 36 kids ages seven and under to go wash their hands . . . and then they all race off to do it!  The Reptile Man is magic.

Thank you so much for coming.  You made our party a smashing success, and we will always remember it.

Sincerely,

Anne Morris

Hello!
The community auditorium was filled with over 250 fans which is a very large gathering in this community. Some traveling more then 20 miles to see you. You are a favorite here and the audience learns so much without realizing how educational the program really is. I think they would come every week if we had you come that often.
 
Thank you again.

Dear Rich,
Thank you for joining us for Sammy's 5th birthday party. Everyone who  attended our party was captivated by your reptile presentation. You  have a wonderful way with kids. Your presentation was excellent. The  parents at the party were impressed by how well you kept 18 kids fully entertained for an adventurous hour. Wow! This was a very memorable  party for our son. We will gladly refer you to other parents who are  looking for unique ways to celebrate birthdays or other special days.

Warmest Regards,
Crystal

P.S. Thank you for sharing a copy of your adventure stories. My 
husband is reading it to Sammy and they are totally enjoying your 
tales.

Austin had it pretty much read before we got home and took it to school the next day to show everyone.  It is truly a prized gift to him!  We all got the biggest laugh out of your story about driving with the Cobra hooded behind you and what the people must have been thinking in the car next to you!

Richard –
 
We can’t possibly thank you enough for the wonderful performance today.  It was outstanding despite the crowded situation.  The superlatives following the program haven’t stopped!
 
I wanted to especially thank you for the educational focus mixed with so much fun.  It is a perfect blend.
