Each program contains detailed information about the animals including their habitats, defense mechanisms, and natural diets.

Michael is our favorite presenter at the Margaret Chase Smith School! We look forward to his visit every year. Our new principal came to my classroom this afternoon and said, "He was the best presenter he has ever seen in his 25 years of being in education!" I said, "I know, that's why we've had him back for over 13 years!"
Team Rainforest's newest addition is Rainforest Reptile Shows innovative and fun mobile unit. This was designed to travel to all corners of the United States. With it will come the ability to educate and fascinate not only our children at schools, fairs and other venues but as a unique training platform for municipalities, and the pet industry.

Took the whole family, lots of vendors. Never knew there were so many different varieties of reptiles and the colors were amazing. Great time!

This show was fabulous! Michael did a zoom meeting with 75 Kindergartener's and not only kept their attention but entertained them as well with his knowledge and stories.

A big thank you from Medfield Children's Center to VALERIE for coming to join us today for a summer show! Unexpected electricians, noise and a few crying kiddos did not stop Valerie from enthusiastically putting on a truly fantastic program for our 3-5 year olds! Thank you so much! This will be something our kiddos will be talking about for a long time to come!

We would like to say thank you to Valerie for coming out to our daughter's 10 year old's birthday party. What a wonderful party it was. Valerie really knew how to get the childrens attention while educating and making it so exciting for the kids. Even many of the Adults got a chance to touch, hold or get closer to animals they thought they never would before.

Its been three days since the party and we are still recieving calls saying thank you and to say how much fun they had. Highly recommend "Rainforest Reptile Shows Inc" for your next school event or party! Thanks again! The Petrin Family

The birhtday show is great. We had Mike to the house yesterday (5/20/12) for my son's 5th birthday party; there were about 15 kids total. Mike is great with kids; he blends silly and funny with a deep knowledge of reptiles and their habitat. It is both fun and informative. I like that he set ground rules up front for where the kids sit and how they sit, and addressed talking and asking questions, etc.

The main presentation was great, had a turtle, snake (boa), lizard and gator. He really made my son feel special, in terms of being the birthday helper. All the kids got to hold the croc (the mouth is taped - completely safe). He then had the boa out in the grass at the end of the show for the kids to touch and watch.really awesome. The one thing that sticks with me was that he took the time to fold up our blankets (and I just happened to walk back into the empty garage to him see him doing it) where the kids had been sitting. Totally professional and really great guy - Big thanks Mike, great show! Paul Wrentham, MA
