Corrina's Reptile Birthday Party


We just had Corrina's 12th birthday party. Yes, I know her birthday was on the 15 but we do things when we can. Anyway, we had Shane from "Scales and Tails of Utah" do a show and it was awesome! Imagine the crocodile hunter in your living room (well sort of.) He turned out to be a very talented entertainer that really kept the kids enthralled the whole time (one hour) and was educational too.





He brought all sorts of “creepy crawlies,” including scorpions (one of which he put in his mouth to show it was safe, yuck!) although he didn’t’ let the kids touch it, and a tarantula!





He also brought an alligator skull (apparently it is against the law in Utah to own a live alligator) and a giant iguana. Corrina got to participate the show by holding some of the animals while Shane talked about them.








Katie’s very favorite animal was “Twinkle Toes,” the giant tortuous that the kids got to pet!





This is Corrina holding “Slice,” a milk snake and “Charlie Brown,” a boa constrictor.






Shane tied Corrina and Cassie together with “Bubbles,” a reticulated python!




Corrina holding “Peaches,” an albino bermese python.




This is several of the kids holding “Squish,” a bermese python who is 14 ½ feet long and 137 lbs!




Corrina buried in snakes, including Squish!




Grandma holding Squish all by herself!



Katie holding Peaches and petting Squish!





Cassie and Charlie Brown.





Katie and “Fuzzy Wuzzy,” the not so fuzzy tortoise.


Shane gave Corrina a T-shirt with a picture of Squish on it that said "Easter might be coming late this year." Apparently Squish eats rabbits!

If anyone is curious about these animals you can go to scalesandtailsutah.com and check them all out. If you live in Utah, I would highly recomend them!

Corrina's Reptile Birthday Party was stunning. Truly you always make me smile with your posts. I am a silent reader on your blog and this is my first comment ever. Well, I am working on the DIY rainbow themed party for my son’s birthday and would like to book a suitable event space in Chicago.
