Amazing birthday scenes for our now 7 year old! Our boys love animals and Tony was super enthusiastic at showing his lovely reptiles and talking all about them to our party. Energetic and personable, he was great to have at our party and if anyone wants an exciting hour of fun for kids (and let’s face it, grown ups) Tony’s the man. Worth every dollar, thanks mate .

I just hired Uncle Tony’s Reptile Shack this weekend for a birthday party and they did not disappoint! Tyler brought many animals and was incredibly knowledgeable about each one. Everyone got to participate in holding and petting the animals. We had the best time ever getting to learn each animal’s name and all about their life! Truly such a fun and unique experience to enjoy with friends! Would 100% recommend Uncle Tony’s Reptile Shack!

Best birthday party yet! My daughter just turned 8. She loves animals and wants to be a Veterinarian when she grows up. I found Anthony's business - called "Uncle Tony's Reptile Shack" - online. I saw the other Google reviews. I called and asked for a copy of his Certificate of Insurance before the party. He provided it no problem. That made me comfortable. My wife and I thought my daughter would only want cute cuddly animals but to my surprise my daughter absolutely wanted this show. And she was right - it was amazing. Anthony has a wealth of knowledge and completely engaged all the kids and parents. Anthony captured their attention immediately and kept it the whole hour - they didn't stop cheering and laughing. Anthony's business is also breeding and selling reptiles and it seems he's a founder of a Long Island Reptile Expo. When I asked he said he started it. He appears to take very good care of these animals. As he was putting them away he actually asked if I could hold off discussing payment method for a few moments as he needed to get the AC going in his suburban so the animals would be in the proper temperature. His animals are very clean and docile. The only dangerous one was actually the giant tortoise because it snaps and its beak can take off a hand. I found it amusing that the innocent tortoise was the one animal that the kids couldn't handle while they were hugging and petting snakes named Banana and Maria (and Maria was gigantic!) as well as a bearded Dragon named Spike and a Tarantula. They did get one mamal. Anthony brought a ferret who loved getting his belly scratched. Payment was easy and cost was very reasonable. I looked up party options and if I had ordered a standard petting zoo - it would have been much less exciting or educational. It also would have cost much more money. Suffice it to say we are glad we used Anthony ("Uncle Tony's Reptile Shack"). He's a relatively young guy who studied wildlife science, interned in Texas with reptiles, worked at a Zoo and went on to start his own business back on Long Island. Our daughter's party was a blast for both the kids and parents and well worth his very reasonable price. A++ for "Uncle Tony's Reptile Shack."

Such an amazing show & host! Anthony was so patient & knowledgeable. He engaged with the entire party, especially with the children. Maintained everyone’s attention & kept the event super fun. The booking process was effortless. He offered suggestions for the type of animals that the age group would enjoy best & it was perfect! I reached out to numerous traveling services but he went above & beyond to ensure our comfort in booking with him & I have no regrets. I highly recommend & would book with him again! Thanks Anthony!

Fantastic experience. Hired Tony for my child’s birthday party and it was an absolute blast. Everyone was entertained the whole time, even the adults had fun! He brought many live animals for the children to hold and see and he’s great with them. Super friendly guy too and it was very easy and stress free to plan with an unbeatable price for what you’re getting. Would definitely hire him again.

Tony was amazing! We had him for my sister’s 9th birthday and everyone had a blast! (Including the adults) She said it was the most amazing day ever. Very easy to book and great communication.One of the best parts was learning about his journey and his knowledge for every one of them. It really makes the show and holding every animal even better.We can’t wait to have you back. Thank you so much again for making my sister’s birthday the best day ever!

We hired Tony for my son's birthday party in Brooklyn. He did an amazing job. Very knowledgeable, friendly, engaging and professional. All the kids (and adults!) had a hands-on experience and an opportunity to take pictures with the animals.
