Each year we host a reptile event for our college residents and it is always a hit! Seth is a fantastic presenter and our tenants have learned so much from the events. We even have residents and staff requesting to see animals by name! If you are in the market for a reptile show to be hosted professionally by someone who clearly loves and cares about the animals, Repco is the choice. Cannot recommend them enough!
Reptile Show
We booked Repco for our daughter's 7th Birthday party. It was Awesome!!!! Kurt was our presenter, he was informative and patient with all 20 kids. They got to touch/hold all 10 species. Even the adults had a good time. Thank you for making our nature lovers day so special!!!

We had Liam from Repco at our kid's 6 birthday for a reptile show. It was amazing! The kids and adults were thrilled by all the creatures, and Liam made it fun and engaging. Highly recommended!

Noah was SO good with the amount of kids we had at our birthday party and provided them with a lot of cool details about each reptile. He made it fun and interactive. Adults and kids were raving about this for weeks. Highly recommend!!
My boys had such a great experience, repco did an amazing job with the crazy hyper kids at the party, he was patient kind and the kids all enjoyed him and the reptiles.

Thank you so much for the review! I appreciate you all having us out and taking the time to leave a review. By any chance do you have pictures of the lizard on the Jurassic Park Jeep? I thought that was a great moment!
Thanks,

Thank you Repco for the event! We loved having Seth and all the reptile friends. Our residents were thrilled for our (now) annual reptile night. Thanks so much again!
Reptile Show
This was one of the best birthday party experiences we have ever had! Seth was timely, polite and very entertaining, he really knew his stuff. We had a Star Wars theme and the animals he brought were perfect! I especially liked Jabba the African Bullfrog. Seth was also great with the kids, handling their constant questions and helping them safely handle the animals. The entire experience was unique, educational and most important an absolute blast! I would highly recommend REPCO Wildlife Encounters for your next event.

Thank you so much for the review! We're glad everyone enjoyed the animals!
I'm pretty sure they exceeded my child's expectations. Definitely exceeded mine! Everyone loved it, parents and kids. Lots of parents even stayed just to experience the reptile show. It was engaging, it was exciting, it was educational and also fun, and I can't begin to tell you how happy they made my little boy on his special day.

The entertainer was amazing. We had ages 2-8 at our event and he was excellent at including everyone. He was great with answering questions and his jokes were entertaining to the kids and to the parents. Loved it and would like to have him back again!

Seth and Liam
The animals brought them my daughter's 8th birthday party were perfect for the group of 12 little girls. The animals were so docile and great to handle. 3 snakes, a bearded dragon, leopard gecko, water dragon, uromastyx, tortoise and a turtle were the wide variety of animals brought for show. The individual who was running the show was very knowledgeable, great with the kids and a very experienced reptile handler. We were very pleased with this event.

Thank you for the review!
We had an amazing experience with REPCO! They brought some great animals for us to meet. They were both very informative, kind and helpful. They answered all our questions, and gave us plenty of time to either hold or see the animals.
Great show with a good variety of animals. Scouts got to interact with and pet the animals as well which they loved! Would definitely hire again in the future.

This was by far the best show we could have asked for. Our 6 year old son and about 30 of his friends loved it!

Response from REPCO Wildlife Encounters:
Thank you so much for the review. We had so much fun at the party. You guys rock!
Seth from Repco was great. Knowledgeable, enthusiastic, energetic and professional
We had a 90 minute presentation with a dozen animals. The kids got to handle most of the animals. Seth was on time, courteous and respectful in our home.
I’d strongly recommend Repco for your event.
Our kids and their friends had a blast!
I loved the Reptile company that I booked I would book them again my son and the rest of the party including adults enjoyed the show.
These guys were great. Seth communicated very well with me throughout the process. I told him that I trusted his decision on what to bring to my kids birthday party and he did a phenomenal job of picking out the right mixture of animals. He was on time and waited an extra 10 minutes for my whole party to arrive. He was very patient with all the kids and my son loved it, even lettingmy son be the assistant since it was his birthday. All in all, these guys were great and I highly recommend them.

Thank you so much, Melanie! The children were adorable and we had so much fun with them! I'm so happy the adults had a great time, too. It was a wonderful party!
Very professional and very patient with the young children. I really enjoyed the show and love that they catered it to the young children. REPCO was very easy to deal with, we had to change our party to the next day due to bad weather and they were very accommodating and did an amazing job! Would definitely use them again for future parties

REPCO did an amazing job at my son's 8th birthday party. The theme of the party was lizards, so, they tailored the show to bring ALL lizards as requested, and my son was thrilled. They arrived on time, were very professional, personable, and knowledgeable. HIGHLY recommend.
Crystal was prepared and organized for our sons Pokemon party. She did the research and was able to relate all the animals she brought with her back to a Pokemon. We had kids from age 3-12 and Crystal was able to interact and hold their interest. I would highly recommend REPCO!

Repco was the perfect animal entertainment/education show for our Church Picnic. Our Picnic theme was God's Global Village and Repco hit a home run with their varied animals from all over the globe. From ferrets to bearded dragons to African hedgehogs, kids and adults alike were delighted and impressed with the variety of animals from around the globe. The Petco team was informative and
friendly with plenty of opportunities for touching the animals and photos. Great job team! and loved your American doggies too!
Animal Entertainment
I was hosting a Harry Potter party for my 8 yr old daughter and Repco did an amazing job with getting into character at the party. The animals they brought were amazing and the children were very intrigued and the explanation of where the animals came from and diet was very informative. When the kids were being picked up all I could here them say to their parents was best party ever. Thanks Repco for making my daughters party a huge success.

Response from REPCO Wildlife Encounters:
