We are delighted to welcome The Reptile Academy to Exbury Gardens this summer, with a collection of weird and wonderful creatures for you to meet.

The 1-hour sessions will consist of a 15-minute talk, followed by 45 minutes of activity time. Activities will include (on-screen) microscopes and walking Salvador, the Argentinian Tegu, on a lead.

We will of course be building in a series of measures to make this fun family event safe and socially distanced at all times.

Restrictions

• Children must be accompanied by an adult at all times.
• In the interests of hygeine and social distancing, this is an outdoor, standing event. However a limited number of seats will be available for those that need them.
• To maintain social distancing, visitors may be allocated a specific performance of an event, according to their gardens arrival time slot.

Reptile Academy safety measures

• Social distanced queue markers and one-way system in operation.
• Smaller reptile team and fewer animals than usual, although larger animals with the WOW factor will be easily-visible.
• No hands-on interaction with the public and animals for now, unless government guidelines change further closer to the time.

Exhibited animals may vary from event to event and each animal is not guaranteed. These decisions are made The Reptile Academy Team in the interest of animal welfare.
