REPTILE DISPLAYS & PARTIES

Looking for a truly unforgettable way to celebrate your child’s birthday?
Want to add something exciting and educational to your next fundraiser, school event or community gathering?
Slithers & Slides brings the fascinating world of reptiles directly to you with interactive, hands-on displays that are fun, safe and unforgettable. Operating in Perth and surrounding areas of Western Australia, we are fully licensed by the Department of Biodiversity, Conservation and Attractions (DBCA) to present a wide range of reptiles — including venomous snakes — in a professional and educational setting.
Our friendly team are experienced educators who know how to engage audiences of all ages. Whether it’s a school incursion, birthday party or public event, we tailor each display to spark curiosity, encourage respect for wildlife and create lasting memories.
Availability
Due to increased demand for snake removals and snake avoidance training during the warmer months, reptile birthday parties and school incursions are available from May to August only.
