Snakebusters are the reptile show of choice in Public Libraries. Live reptile shows are always popular with pre-school and school-age
children and none more so than Raymond Hoser's snakebusters shows.
No one else has the expertise and ability to impart information like
Raymond Hoser and his team. Audiences are captivated.
Librarians and teachers will be stunned at how he can have the undivided
attention of a full class or group of young children for the hour or so
his interactive show goes on.
Several basic lecture plans are used and others can be formulated to
suit the special needs of the group, their study curriculum, school holiday
program or whatever.
After being given the mandatory snake safety lesson (avoid venomous
reptiles), the children are encouraged to touch and handle innocuous reptiles
and for many this is a first time experience.
As for other lectures and shows, parents and adults are also recommended
to attend and while our preferred group size is about 30, there is some
latitude here. Libraries often push the number to 50 or more to reduce
the costs involved per person.
In Melbourne, snakebusters are the reptile show of choice for public
libraries and many have Snakebusters shows as a regular part of their school
holiday programs. Generally these are one holiday activity that always
get booked out!
Pricing is from $240 per session and less per session if several are
booked at once. Holiday periods are generally heavily booked and so you should call early to get your spot.
