Tipping the Scales Exotic Animal Experience

Akila had to dig through alot of dirt and thick roots to make this lovely hole we now have to fill in lol

Akila is protesting not being able to go to shows for a bit

06/27/2024

Ahhhhh .. the dreaded wait. After set up, waiting for the event to start. It allows a humble, spoiled tortoise the opportunity to ponder. To eat this grass or not to eat this grass. That is the true question of today.

06/14/2024

So excited to be invited out again! Be sure to come and see some of your favorite critters. As well as some new ambassadors. Don't forget the lawn chairs and a camera.

We are so excited to welcome back the animal ambassadors!
Event sponsored by the Friends of the Shelby Area District Library.

Are you looking for a fun new activity at your childs birthday party? Need a interesting fun addition to a summer event? Have some hand tame exotic animals out. We still have some dates available this summer. We would love to bring some ambassador animals out to wow your guests and make your event the talk of the community.

Well the snakes out of the bag! We have joined the chamber and hope that it will only further our reach to show people these amazing animals and help us continue our hands on experience for years to come.

Not very happy about being at the vet. In other news, have you ever had to wrestle a 60 pound Boulder with legs? She is not a fan of her antibiotic injections

We are super excited to be in Hart over spring break! Getting started early for a big year. Give them a call to RSVP. All the critters are excited to see everyone again soon.

When your tortoise decides to leave a present for you on your way to an event... I suppose it's tradition at this point. Thanks Akila.

A lot has changed over this past off season. Unfortunately we almost closed our doors. We began the process and some of our previous ambassadors have found other homes around the state. We also took our website down as well as stopped expanding our horizon for future ambassadors.

It is still unclear if we will remain open into the summer of 2024. Staying open has a lot to do with you. If you have ever had us out to an event, or been to an event, or even wanted us to come out to an event please let us know.

There has been some conversations between the owners and their business mentors about the longevity of this type of business. If you, in any way, support or recommend us and what we are doing and what we are trying to accomplish please let us know with a simple comment and share. It would mean the world to us.

We hope that we can continue to do what we love to do and continue to bring these amazing critters to your backyard. Thank you to everyone.

Spring has officially arrived! Akila can't wait to see everyone at our multiple public events this year! Stay tuned to figure out where you can see her as well as all her friends

07/26/2022

We have a new graduate from our ambassador program who is eager to meet everyone. He is what you would call a gentle giant. He will be making his grand debut this Thursday at Our Shelby library show.

07/21/2022

Ever wanted to come to an event but can't seem to catch one? We will be at the Shelby library next week Thursday July 28 at 10 am with all our critters for a fun,free educational event. Hope to see you all there :-)
